Higher

I'm doing nothing

'Cause then at least I'm doing nothing wrong

And I'm staying on my own

And turn off my telephone

But nothing's gained, nothing's won

Yeah, you can tell them,

Yeah, you can say whatever

I don't care, yeah

But if you wanna play it cool

Then I got news for you

It's getting hotter, hotter in here

So, when I speak, listen

This is my decision

But you keep on messing up the words (oh, oh, oh)

So when I speak, listen,

'Cause you keep on pushing,

Like I need permission to be heard (oh, oh, oh)

I'm gonna lift it, lift it

Higher

I'm gonna lift it, lift it

Higher

So when I speak, listen

This is my decision

But you keep on messing up the words

It's getting closer

I'm movin' in and there are things ya know

And I am sick of playing games

And I'm not go'n say no names

But you are not who to blame

Yeah, you can turn off

Yeah, you can go ahead and put it straight

'Cause I am finishing myself

And I do not need your help

I'm gonna do this tonight

So, when I speak, listen

This is my decision

But you keep on messing up the words (oh, oh, oh)

So when I speak, listen

'Cause you keep on pushing

Like I need permission to be heard (oh, oh, oh)

I'm gonna lift it, lift it

Higher

I'm gonna lift it, lift it

Higher

So when I speak, listen

This is my decision

But you keep on messing up the words

I'm gonna lift it, lift it

When you say higher, I go higher

I'm gonna lift it, lift it

Yeah, you can try, but I go higher

I'm gonna lift it, lift it

The only thing that I've been tryin' to do is listen, so listen

So, when I speak, listen

This is my decision, (yeah, yeah)

But you keep on messing up the words (oh, oh, oh) (you keep on messing up my words)

So when I speak, listen

'Cause you keep on pushing

Like I need permission to be heard (oh, oh, oh)

I'm gonna lift it, lift it

Higher

I'm gonna lift it, lift it

Higher

So when I speak, listen

This is my decision

But you keep on messing up the words
