Lose Yourself
DT8 Project feat. Nicolai Prowse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes when you take another love
Makes me wanna run away
You can guess what it might do to you
You don't wanna know
I don't know if you'll do this for me
But what is wrong with monogamy
What has ever become of us
Living like we were wrong?
I'm not, not, not, not giving more
'Cause it's not, not, not, not enough
Save yourself for me
I guess you must really want to lie on the floor
You got it one day, meaner than some
And I go wing around wing around waiting to fall




And you go "ha ha my guy is alone"
Save yourself for me
