Make Me Yours
Beth Crowley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I guess your silence might be more than I deserve
We've always had excuses for why we couldn't make it work
But I have to stop pretending that being without you doesn't hurt
This push and pull
Aren't you tired of running
Making me feel like I'm the fool
Is stopping tonight
Cause I'm standing here telling you
Make me yours
I've said it too much but I have got to get this out
Don't blame the timing cause the only time is now
And if we're done we'll go our seperate ways and say goodbye
But I think we'll both have our regrets if we do not give this a try
This push and pull
Aren't you tired of running
Making me feel like I'm the fool
This back and forth
Is stopping tonight
Cause I'm standing here telling you
Make me yours
Put it all out on the line tonight
Cause I am going to make you mine tonight
Put it all on the line tonight
Cause I am going to make you mine tonight
Put it all out on the line tonight
Cause I am going to make you mine tonight
Put it all out on the line tonight
Cause I am going to make you mine
I am going to make you mine
I am going to make you mine
This push and pull
Arent you tired of running
Making me feel like I'm the fool
This back and forth
Is stopping tonight
Cause I'm standing here telling you
Make me yours

I absolutely adore the drums. They feel like an actual racing heartbeat to me, like you're afraid and you've got adrenaline and anticipation running through you and you feel like you're going to pass out but you do it anyway. It's totally addicting and exhilarating.

Sometimes you can't have who you want.It' hurts. To know they just decided were not to be friends and never again will I hear their voice or see them smile.I cared to much they didn't care at all.When that hit me?I don't ever wanna care and never trust cause in the end they leave and my heart can't take that again. Another amazing song. I love everything you sing. Your amazing β€
