7 Minutes
Darren Espanto Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You push me away as you slam the door
You're screamin out you can't take this anymore
You're wondering what we're still together for
Do we even know what we're fighting for?
Are we losing ourselves this time?
Sayin things we don't wanna say
Only hurting the one we love the most
You took a cab and just run away

To the station where we first met
I won't give up on us
I didn't mean to do you wrong
Don't turn your back on love
With me is where you belong
Coz I would rather fight with you than be happy with someone else
No, I won't give up on us
Seven minutes 'til the train departs
Oh whoah
Seven minutes 'til the train departs
Yeah
I'm running down the streets calling out your name

But you're not looking back as you slowly fade away

So out of reach but you're just a block away from me

Did we even know what we're fighting for?

Are we losing ourselves this time?
Sayin things we dont wanna say

Only hurting the one we love the most

You took a cab and just run away
To the station where we first met

I won't give up on us
I didn't mean to do you wrong
Don't turn your back on love
With me is where you belong
Coz I would rather fight with you than be happy with someone else
No, I won't give up on us
Seven minutes 'til the train departs
I can't take another sleepless night
Are we got up our crazy minds?
All we need is just one more try
If we'd only make it through this night
I promise we gonna get it right
Before the sun will rise, we'll fall and fight and cry again
for one last time
I won't give up on us
Didn't mean to do you wrong
Don't turn your back on love
With me is where you belong
Coz I would rather fight with you than be happy with someone else
I won't give up on us
Seven minutes 'til the train departs
I won't give up on us
(Don't give up on us)Didn't mean to do you wrong
Don't turn your back on love
(Don't turn away)With me is where you belong
Coz I would rather fight with you than be happy with someone else(Happy with someone else)
I won't give up on us
Seven minutes 'til the train departs




Seven minutes 'til the train departs
Seven minutes 'til the train departs
