One More Try
Donnalyn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ha.. ha.. ha..
Nanana ah..

Been thinking about you
And all the things we used to do
Been broken up for a while now
This bottle's half way through
I know it's my fault (my fault)
But I put the blame on you (you)
But we could go 'round for days
'Bout what I did and didn't do

We could talk and just go on and on and on
Saying if I had one more chance
Then I would never let you go

Let's give it one more tryyyyyyyy tryyyyyyy tryyyyyyyy
Yeah yeah
Let's give it one more tryyyyyyyy tryyyyyyy tryyyyyyyy
(I want you back, I want you back, I want you back, I want you back)
Oh ohh ohh
Let's give it one more try

And all of those late nights (late nights)
I'm not picking up your calls
You're trying to explain
I wouldn't listen at all (no!)

Twisted things to make sure I'm right
Almost every time we fight
Now I know that I messed up
Is it too late for sorry

We could talk and just go on and on and on
Saying if I had one more chance
Then I would never let you go

Let's give it one more tryyyyyyyy tryyyyyyy tryyyyyyyy
Yeah yeah
Let's give it one more tryyyyyyyy tryyyyyyy tryyyyyyyy
(I want you back, I want you back, I want you back, I want you back)
Oh ohh ohh
Let's give it one more try

Yeah this time I'll do the things I'm supposed to
And all the things I said I won't do
They say if you love someone then let them go
But if I was the one I was like how am I supposed to know

And yeah I remember
Yeah you told me so
That I took you for granted
You're always down to roll
You're always down to go
Wherever whenever
And now I'm just here all alone (I'm just here all alone)

We could talk and just go on and on and on
Saying if I had one more chance
Then I would never let you go

Let's give it one more tryyyyyyyy tryyyyyyy tryyyyyyyy
Yeah yeah
Let's give it one more tryyyyyyyy tryyyyyyy tryyyyyyyy
(I want you back, I want you back, I want you back, I want you back)




Oh ohh ohh
Let's give it one more try

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Donnalyn's song "One More Try" depict a person reflecting on their past relationship and expressing their desire to give it another chance. The opening lines set a playful and nostalgic tone, as the person remembers the things they used to do together and acknowledges that they have been broken up for some time.


The first verse emphasizes the person's acknowledgment of their own fault in the breakup, but also their tendency to blame the other person. They recognize that they could endlessly argue about what they did or didn't do in the relationship. This demonstrates a lingering conflict and unresolved issues between the two parties.


The chorus serves as the main message of the song, with the person expressing their longing for another opportunity with their ex-lover. They plead to give the relationship one more try, suggesting that they have learned from their mistakes and would cherish the chance to make things right. The repetition of "tryyyyyyyy" emphasizes the desperation and sincerity behind their plea.


In the second verse, the person reflects on the times they ignored their ex-lover's attempts to communicate and explain themselves. They admit to being stubborn and not listening, further emphasizing their own faults in the relationship. The lyrics also hint at a pattern of manipulating situations to prove themselves right, indicating a toxic dynamic in the past.


The bridge of the song shifts the perspective to the present moment. The person promises that if given another chance, they will do the things they should have done before. They acknowledge the advice they received from their ex-lover about taking them for granted and express regret for not realizing it sooner. The allusion to being alone signifies the aftermath of the breakup and the person's longing for their former partner's presence.


Overall, "One More Try" touches on themes of introspection, repentance, and the desire for reconciliation. It portrays a person who recognizes their own shortcomings in a past relationship and seeks forgiveness and another opportunity to make things right.
