Big White Room
Jessie J · Who You Are [2011]
Tilt my head back, feel the tears fall down
Close my eyes to see in the dark,
I feel numb, broken, and so so scared (mmm)
I don't wanna be here anymore,
I wanna be somewhere else,
Roaming free, like I used to be oh
But I have to stay in this big white room,
With little old me...
[x2:]
I'm going crazy,
I'm losing my mind
I'm going crazy,
In this big white room of mine
Sitting in a big white room alone,
Close the door,
Don't want the pain to come in
(No no no no no no)
I clench my fist,
And try to stay strong
I cry, but feel sick.
My heart is beating out of control
Can I run more faster than you?
Wanna feel my body again,
Feel the wind in my hair, yeah
But I have to stay in this big white room,
Where no one else cares. (no no no no no no no oh)
[x2:]
I'm going crazy,
I'm losing my mind
I'm going crazy,
In this big white room of mine
[x2:]
Everybody's looking at me,
Everybodys staring at me
What do I do now?
Smile. Yeah Yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
[x2:]
I'm going crazy,
I'm losing my mind,
I'm going crazy,
In this big white room of mine
