Russian Roulette

Rihanna · Rated R [2009]

Take a breath, take it deep

Calm yourself, he says to me

If you play, you play for keeps

Take a gun, and count to three

I'm sweating now, moving slow

No time to think, my turn to go



[Chorus]

And you can see my heart beating

You can see it through my chest

That I'm terrified but I'm not leaving

Know that I must pass this test

So just pull the trigger



Say a prayer to yourself

He says close your eyes

Sometimes it helps

And then I get a scary thought

That he's here means he's never lost



(Chorus)

And you can see my heart beating

You can see it through my chest

That I'm terrified but I'm not leaving

Know that I must pass this test

So just pull the trigger



As my life flashes before my eyes

I'm wondering will I ever see another sunrise?

So many won't get the chance to say goodbye

But it's too late to think of the value of my life



(Chorus)

And you can see my heart beating

Ohh, you can see it through my chest

That I'm terrified but I'm not leaving, no

Know that I must pass this test



And you can see my heart beating

Oh, you can see it through my chest

I, I'm terrified but I'm not leaving no no

Know that I must pass this test

So just pull the trigger
