Imagine Dragons - Curse Lyrics






She barely knew your name
He was just a city, she's just a dirt road
But that never meant a thing
Running from the country, she needed out but, he held that diamond ring

Cause I can't sit oh I can't talk
I gotta leave this town and run to you
Curse these nights that speak your name
I gotta leave this town and come to you
Break (oh) this (oh) curse (oh)
Ha ha ha
Break (oh) this (oh) curse (oh)
She barely knew your name

He was such a worry
No need to hurry
Those streets are slick at night
She would never listen
She left it all and headed towards the light
Oh your eyes look tired
But love was all she knew
Screaming out in agony she gave her life for you

Cause I can't sit oh I can't talk
I gotta leave this town and run to you
Curse these nights that speak your name
I gotta leave this town and come to you
Break (oh) this (oh) curse (oh)
Ha ha ha
Break (oh) this (oh) curse (oh)
She barely knew your name

Cause I can't sit oh I can't talk
I gotta leave this town and run to you
Curse these nights that speak your name
I gotta leave this town and run to you
Break (oh) this (oh) curse (oh)
Ha ha ha
Break (oh) this (oh) curse (oh)
She barely knew your name

Imagine Dragons Curse Comments
  1. B.... ....

    Oh man this brings back memories! From when I first saw them in 2009 before they got big.....they are almost 100% different in style now but still ridiculously good stuff.

  2. M.... ....

    It's been 4 days since the day they announced they're "taking some time", and I'm already feeling broke and listening to all of their songs

  3. L.... ....

    I don’t even like listening to music, but I make an exception for Imagine Dragons...

  4. L.... L....

    I FINALLY THINK I FOUND THE DRAGON!


    This is how: Turn your brightness down a lot and then put your face almost all the way against your screen (In full screen). And then cross your eyes a little. Then you should see a 3D outline of a dragon head facing right.

  5. N.... ....

    Those 411 people who disliked meant "Dis I like" ;)

  6. I.... ....

    Man, this is so under rated. I love it so much. It's my hidden pleasure

  7. B.... G....

    Anyone listening in 2019 and want it remastered on spotify?

  8. S.... ....

    To those on a nostalgia high revisiting old Imagine Dragons songs, how do you feel about their newer 2019 music?

    S.... ....

    Sebastian.Alex15 it's pretty bad imo

    S.... ....

    Sebastian.Alex15 can’t say I’m a fan. I find it boring.

    S.... ....

    It's not as good, but it isn't bad by any means

  9. K.... V....

    It is so sad that their songs are on the radio only once in a while. And now all we get are songs that have bad meanings.

  10. S.... B....

    A great song by a band i very much dislike now

  11. K.... R....

    10 year anniversary who's here??

  12. �.... ....

    진짜 시발 내가 이걸 왜 지금알았지..

  13. V.... ....

    403 dirt roads disliked this

  14. A.... S....

    Such a good and underrated song

  15. F.... K....

    Remember when Imagine Dragons used to play their instruments?

    F.... K....

    Fabulous Killjoy what does that mean?

    F.... K....

    Pig Power Have you heard Origins

    F.... K....

    Fabulous Killjoy yes, are you talking about all the fancy tech they have access to? I know their music changed a bit but i think they still play their instruments

    F.... K....

    Pig Power Their quality has gone down BIG TIME. All they’re doing in feeding their fans. Trust me, I was a HUGE ID fangirl just a year ago. I had an EvolvE profile picture and all. I spent all my money pre-ordering Origins deluxe, and I was super excited. I waited until midnight to listen to it. I was so disappointed. I tried and wanted so bad to love it, but there was nothing to love.

    My family played it nonstop for the next five weeks or so, but, even now, I can’t remember any of the songs off the top of my head but “Birds” and “Natural”. “Zero” sounds *exactly* like “The Middle” by Jimmy Eat World and “Heartbeat Song” by Kelly Clarkson.

    I was really mad at them for three months after the release because I felt so mistreated. I hate Origins with a flaming passion.

    And as for the “fancy tech”, I wouldn’t mind if they actually used it well. They aren’t using it for anything spectacular at all. Want a good example of electronic music? Listen to “Fireflies” by Owl City.

    Imagine Dragons peaked at Smoke+Mirrors.

  16. F.... K....

    I remember back when I was twelve, screaming along to these songs in my basement.

  17. R.... T....

    Where can I download this?

  18. L.... A....

    quite nostalgic for some reason

  19. T.... o....

    People : Imagine Dragons isn't a rock band

    Me :

    T.... o....

    This song is from ten years ago..

  20. K.... ....

    0:52 Here is the text! You see how kind I am!

  21. �.... ....

    Why didnt i comment this one ughhh im sooo silly

    �.... ....

    Oh i already did

  22. C.... S....

    I miss the old imagine dragons

  23. B.... M....

    This album is so underrated. The entire album is amazing

  24. M.... ....

    I'm seeing all these comments from years ago and I just wanted to let everyone know they're still my favorite band ^-^

  25. D.... B....

    2019 lets start a chain
    She barely knew your name

    D.... B....

    he held that diamond ring

    D.... B....

    Cause I can't Sit,
    Oh I can't talk

    D.... B....

    Bryan Soliz i gotta leave this town and run to you

    D.... B....

    Curse these nights

    D.... B....

    That speak your name I gotta leave this town and come to you

  26. F.... S....

    Hate to be _that_ person, but why can't he sit? I can tell why he wouldn't talk but why not sit down and think it out?

    F.... S....

    He feel he needs to take action now. If he doesn't, it might be too late, he doesn't have time to think



    But he does have time to sing an absolute banger of a song

    F.... S....

    @Bean Time I was making a horrible joke and I thought that he was just nervous

  27. Z.... R....

    Anyone in 2019?

  28. P.... P....

    Was this used in a movie or tv show?

  29. I.... ....

    This song reminds me so fucking much of BRICK BY BORING BRICK by paramore

  30. J.... V....

    Sort of sounds like Franz Ferdinand

  31. A.... A....

    Buen video grefg

  32. Q.... m....

    Imagine dragons deveria hacer una remasterizacion de esto

  33. B.... ....

    This song has one of the catchiest bridges I've ever heard

  34. t.... ....

    who cares about spotify, this song should be a book

  35. D.... -....

    I have 32 songs by them

    D.... -....

    DeadPoolKJ_851 -YT on what

  36. A.... c....

    This song represents my situation with my crush.

  37. T.... ....

    Nice lyrics and video description, well done!

  38. A.... H....

    time for magic!

    Step 1) go to full screen
    Step 2) type awesome (fast if you can)
    Step 3) re-do step 2 because you may have messed up. (If not skip to step 4
    Step 4) look for color
    Step 5) epilepsy

  39. �.... ....

    Im wondering . R u still alive alex?.

  40. B.... _....

    My favorite part of the song starts at 2:03.

    B.... _....

    I also like the bridge...

    B.... _....

    Woah, we have something in common!

  41. m.... ....

    Cursed??? What have they been messing with?

    m.... ....

    Yeah, the song is ambiguous but I love it.

  42. L.... ;....

  43. L.... A....

    Firebreathers rISE UP 🔥 🐉

    d.... d....

    ding dong your opinion is wrong this was posted 4 months ago

  47. A.... B....

    Why they don't make songs like this anymore..?

  48. N.... C....

    Probably the most under rated song of all time.

  49. w.... b....

    November 2018 , are you here?

  50. J.... A....

    Electronic White Lies, change my mind

  51. c.... ....

    Ha ha ha

  52. A.... L....

    My FAV IN THIS ep

  53. C.... P....

    Aí q saudades dessas músicas!! Imagine Dragons melhor banda sempre 💜

  54. S.... B....

    WHY ISNT THIS ON SPOTIFY? I HAVE NEVER HEARD IT BEFORE AND ITS GREAT AS HELL

  55. J.... A....

    these "old" songs should be all on spotify

  56. M.... C....

    Love this song..!

  57. d.... ....

    (Actually happened)
    Person (on Twitter): Will you ever play *Emma* again?
    Imagine Dragons: After *Curse*

    (Me, not having a Twitter but reading the post, screaming loudly and hoping they aren’t playing with my emotions)

    d.... ....

    Wait what

  58. T.... B....

    Id love for them to revisit some of these old songs - theres so many good ideas here and it would be really interesting to see how their style has developed since these days on the same song concept.

  59. S.... L....

    sad this isn't on the itunes store

  60. C.... J....

    everyone at school is surprised im listening to Imagine Dragons. I don't understand why they don't like them????

  61. E.... B....

    "She left it all and headed towards the light" Who's here when moth memes are a thing?

  62. b.... b....

    It's crazy coming back here after they announce their 8th album. (8th if you include live and studio)

    b.... b....

    Well, you can't include live albums; it's their 4th real album

  63. C.... J....

    I'm not a big fan of the intro, but the rest is awsome

  64. P.... B....

    Who else agrees that some songs by image drahons are perfect for some thing
    Eg thunder in thunderstorms or when a pokemon in the anime or gamd uses an elitric type move

  65. L.... T....

    somebody knows why, the song doesn´t "exist" in spoify for example

  66. M.... F....

    It’s one of those uncommon songs so I’ll hum it in front of my friend who’s a fan and they’ll be like “what song is that”

  67. T.... H....

    IM THE 20 THOUSANDTH LIKE!!!!!!!! *I HAVE THE POWER!!*

  68. A.... A....

    HELL AND SILENCE YEEEE

  69. l.... h....

    sofia v:

  70. D.... G....

    Imagine Dragons are "Radioactive" ''Natural" "Demons" "On Top of the World" who turned into "Monsters" and " it is time" to do "Whatever it Takes" to escape the "Thunder" and become a "Believer" ''Next to me ''and to the "gold" ''warriors''.however in order to stop " bleeding out" they have to go back to their "roots"

    D.... G....

    Nice going buddy

  71. n.... ....

    This music fit so perfectly with the Your Name Movie LoL

  72. K.... T....

    One of my favorite songs. Right behind Demons.

  73. m.... p....

    No matter how many albums they have imagine dragons have best songs.

  74. s.... h....

    haha boot

  75. d.... ....

    Gosh all the old Imagine Dragons songs are so beautiful and different but you can hardly find them anywhere except YouTube. They aren’t on iTunes, and I need them to be so badly. SOMEONE HELP AND START SOMETHING TO PUT OLD IMAGINE DRAGONS SONGS ON ITUNES

  76. K.... C....

    2018 😍

    K.... C....

    This is basic :))

  77. L.... &....

    When you put it on 0.25x speed it’s both annoying and hilarious

    L.... &....

    As long as you skip the beginning

    L.... &....

    Oh my God... XD

    Try 2x

  78. J.... G....

    So what's the story? She leaves her home to chase after someone else in the big city?
    Gets hit by a car?

  79. N.... L....

    Coming back to listen to their old days. 2018 anyone?

  80. C.... K....

    2k18 anyone?🔥💯😎

  81. t.... y....

    2018? ❤️

  82. P.... D....

    I think this song is in the perspective of someone who was in Love the girl died for him despite barely really knowing anything about him. The curse is he wants to die to go with her.

    Those streets are slick at night - he got himself in danger.

    She would never listen- He tried to stop her from sacrificing herself but she didn’t listen and died.

    Leave this town and run to you- Die and go to you.

    P.... D....

    oh wow that... that makes this a lot more depressing but it makes sense!

  83. A.... P....

    2018 <3

  84. 4.... ....

    honestly imagine dragons and twenty one pilots should team up and make an album together

  85. E.... K....

    Someone should do a react to this

    E.... K....

    Esias Kohler I think someone should react to their old music, then their new, without knowing much about either.

  86. F.... S....

    🐉💙

  87. Y.... T....

    Why is this not on Spotifyyyy

  88. c.... n....

  90. H.... v....

    Its so catchy damn

  91. L.... ....

    This is one of their most underrated songs IMHO

  92. n.... p....

  93. R.... r....

    Sorry to be a. little rude but it said fists
