A spring loaded and it’s ready to pop,
A champagne cork that cant be stopped
Everyone walks on eggshells around you
A volcano rumbling from below, a backdraft that’s about to blow
Wondering when you might lose it, for good
(Chorus)
You are so volatile it seems. Your moods are like a scalding cup of tea.
You want to take everyone down so you can be on top, that’s not how it works, no not at all, you’re volatile
A detonator about to be pushed, tender prey virtually ambushed
What can anyone say that won’t offend you?
A roaring river 'bout to break the dam, a renegade tank in a traffic jam
I’m so exhausted with this endless competition
(Chorus)
You are so volatile it seems. Your moods are like a scalding cup of tea.
You want to take everyone down so you can be on top, that’s not how it works, no not at all, you’re volatile
A firework just before the flare, a lose wire on an electric chair
Your tantrums are doing my head in
A tornado grazing my front door, molotov lobbed in liquor store,
Everybody walks on eggshells around you
(Chorus)
You are so volatile it seems. Your moods are like a scalding cup of tea.
You want to take everyone down so you can be on top, that’s not how it works, no not at all, you’re volatile
