P!nk - Where Did The Beat Go? lyrics

I can hear planes flying over my head
Just hours before you occupied my bed
In our darkness we conjured up sunlight

In our haste, our need, our thirst we lost our sight

But I was inspired tracing the lines on your face
To the poetry of the first time I heard your name
When I trip from your lips my heart was like a kickdrum
And it silenced the guilt, I wasn't raised to hurt anyone

Uh oh does he know
That I'm lying in the afterglow
That I'm lying but I can't go, can't say no
Make him think he's crazy
While his paranoia grows
But what he should be asking
Is where did our love go
Then I wouldn't be basking
In another man's afterglow

Where did the beat go
Where's the beat
Where did the beat go

So how do I justify to the judge and the jury
The voices in my head that caused this fury
Never had to play with matches to start a fire
But it got so cold that I thought I'd forgotten desire

I was your concubine and your Madonna
You couldn't see anything beyond your baby's mama
How long is lonely supposed to last?
I was naked and waiting for you to come back

Uh oh does he know
Lying in the afterglow
That I'm lying but I can't go, can't say no
Make him think he's crazy
While his paranoia grows
But what he should be asking
Is where did our love go
Then I wouldn't be basking
In another man's afterglow

Where did the beat go
In another man's afterglow
Where's the beat
Where did the beat go
In another man's afterglow

There's a cause and effect although I took the steps
I dove off the bridge 'cause I had nothing left
All I ever wanted was you and in the absence of you
I fell through

Uh oh does he know
Lying in the afterglow
That I'm lying but I can't go, can't say no
Make him think he's crazy
While his paranoia grows
But what he should be asking
Is where did our love go
Then I wouldn't be basking
In another man's afterglow

Where did the beat go?
In another man's afterglow
Where's the beat
Where did the beat go?
Where did the love go?
Where did the beat go?
Where did the love go?
