Dive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause I don't want this to end tonight
Pieces start to fall in
All the places we missed last time
And you can't deny the truth you're not an angel as you claim
But it's that part of you I crave
I'll find the words to make you stay
I won't let you down this time
Don't throw this away
I've made that mistake
I pay for it every time I hear your name
Don't leave me now
I won't let you down
This time
Let's write another ending
I never wanted to let you go
We could start from the beginning
There was so much you didn't know
And you can't deny the truth you're not an angel as you claim
But it's that part of you I crave
Don't leave me now
I'll find the words to make you stay
I won't let you down this time
Don't throw this away
I've made that mistake
I pay for it every time I hear your name
Don't leave me now
I won't let you down
This time
The stars are all in line
And I've waited all this time
For another chance with you
Don't leave me now
I'll find the words to make you stay
I won't let you down this time
Don't throw this away
I've made that mistake
I pay for it every time I hear your name
Don't leave me now
I won't let you down
This time
Let you down
