Less Than Zero – The Weeknd

Less Than Zero Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Remember I was your hero, yeah
I’d wear your heart like a symbol
I couldn’t save you from my darkest truth of all
I know
I’ll always be less than zero
Oh, yeah
You tried your best with me, I know
I couldn’t face you with my darkest truth of all
Oh

[Chorus]
‘Cause I can’t get it out of my head
No, I can’t shake this feeling that crawls in my bed
I try to hide it, but I know you know me
I try to fight it, but I’d rather be free
Oh

[Verse 2]
Oh yeah
Can we meet in the middle?
Oh yeah
‘Cause you were just like me before
Now you’d rather leavе me
Than to watch me die in your arms, oh

[Chorus]
But I can’t gеt it out of my head
No, I can’t shake this feeling that crawls in my bed
I try to hide it, but I know you know me
I try to fight it, but I’d rather be free
Oh woah, oh

[Bridge]
(I can’t get it out of my head)
(No, I can’t shake this feeling that crawls in my bed)
(I try, I try)
(I try, I try)

[Chorus]
I can’t get it out of my head
No, I can’t shake this feeling that crawls in my bed
I try to hide it, but I know you know me (Know you know me)
I try to fight it, but I’d rather be free

[Outro]
Yeah
I’ll always be less than zero
You tried your best with me, I know
