Recover
Amber Lynn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is that what you wanted
How you saw it end
You just take what you needed
And leave whats left in my hands
Love never breaks even, no
Knowing I have a foolish heart
So when you get all the healing
Well i'll get the scars
But I gave my all to you
I was hoping you would too
What am I supposed to do
With nothing left for anybody new
Let me recover
Won't you let me recover
Won't you let me recover oh
Let me recover
Well you take your freedom
And I'll take time
And I'll keep beliving, oh
That I could change your mind, oh oh
But if I can't make you love me
Oh and if I cant make you stay
There's nothing left here for you baby
Oh won't you just be on your way, oh
Cause I gave my all to you
I was hoping you would too
What am I supposed to do
With nothing left for anybody new
Oh let me recover
Won't you let me recover
Oh let me recover, oh
Won't you let me recover, oh
Oh won't ya won't ya won't ya let me be
Oh just wanna move on
Oh oh I just wanna move on baby




Oh won't you let me let me let me let me let me oh
Wont you let me recover
