Ramblin' on my mind

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just never believed it
No, I just never believed it
They tell you someone comes around to fix you, righting all your wrongs
But I just never believed it
No, 'cause I never received it
Maybe I was a pessimist, was a fool
What I'd do just to keep you here in my arms
I'll do whatever it takes
I put my hands on her face
I'm not gonna lose you tonight
I'd rather lose my mind
You said forever and more
So sick of letting you go
I'm not gonna lose you tonight
I'd rather lose my mind
Mind, my mind tonight
I'd rather lose my mind
I know you're tired of promises I always seem to break
You just have to believe me, yeah
I know I've never been easy, yeah
I know I can get narcissistic and cruel
And I put myself before you
What I'd do to fix everything I've broken
I'll do whatever it takes
I put my hands on her face
I'm not gonna lose you tonight
I'd rather lose my mind
You said forever and more
So sick of letting you go
I'm not gonna lose you tonight
I'd rather lose my mind
Mind, my mind tonight
I'd rather lose my mind
If it meant that I wasn't by your side 'til the day I die
I'd rather lose my mind
If it meant that I wasn't by your side 'til the day I die
I'd rather lose my mind
If it meant that I wasn't by your side 'til the day I die
I'd rather lose my mind
If it meant that I wasn't by your side 'til the day I die
I'd rather lose my mind
