Wait, just a moment before our love will die
Cuse I must know the reason why we say goodbye
Wait just a moment and tell me why
Cause I can show you lovin that you won't deny

Wait and show your lovin like it was before
Cause I won't let that feelin walk out through the door
I said wait just a moment and try once more
Cause babe I need to hold you like I did before

So if you go away I know that I will follow
Cause there's a place inside my hear that tells me
hold out, hold out, hold out

Wait-wait
I never had a chance to love you
wait-wait

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Dirty looks from your mother
Never seen you in a dress that color, no
It's a special occasion
Not invited, but I'm glad I made it, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
Let me apologize
I'll make up, make up, make up, make up for all those times
Your love, I don't wanna lose
I'm beggin', beggin', beggin', beggin', I'm beggin' you

[Chorus]
Wait, can you turn around, can you turn around?
Just wait, can we work this out, can we work this out?
Just wait, can you come here please? 'Cause I wanna be with you
Wait, can you turn around, can you turn around?
Just wait, can we work this out, can we work this out?
Just wait, could you come here please? 'Cause I wanna be with you

[Verse 2]
Can we talk for a moment?
Got these feelings that I'm tired of holdin' on
Wasn't tryna get wasted
I needed more than three or four to say this, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
Let me apologize, yeah
I'll make up, make up, make up, make up for all those times (all those times)
Your love, I don't wanna lose
I'm beggin', beggin', beggin', beggin', I'm begging you

[Chorus]
Wait, can you turn around, can you turn around?
Just wait, can we work this out, can we work this out?
Just wait, can you come here please? 'Cause I wanna be with you
Wait, can you turn around, can you turn around?
Just wait, can we work this out, can we work this out?
Just wait, could you come here please? 'Cause I wanna be with you

[Bridge]
You say I'm just another bad guy
You say I've done a lot of things I can't undo
Before you tell me for the last time, yeah
I'm beggin', beggin', beggin', beggin' you

[Chorus]
Wait, can you turn around, can you turn around?
Just wait, can we work this out, can we work this out?
Just wait, can you come here please? 'Cause I wanna be with you
Wait, can you turn around, can you turn around?
Just wait, can we work this out, can we work this out?
Just wait, could you come here please? 'Cause I wanna be with you

@hiimbianca5462

Ok, I’m gonna try to figure out the symbolism is this... I might be wrong so I apologize in advance, but it’s worth a shot. I dunno if this is considered spoiling but just in case SPOILER ALERT 🚨

So in the beginning of the video I’m guessing it means their relationship is β€œdead” that’s why they’re in coffins. Her moms face is all like β€œPig cheated on my daughter.” He wants to revive the relationship so he reaches out to her but her brothers like β€œNo way!” so he punches him in the face. (I dunno what the scorpion means if you know, then let me know)

the next part might mean he’s been partying and getting drunk a lot, so they’ve been fighting.

I have no clue what 1:11 means lol

Next scene, he goes to where she’s been staying, so they can work it out but her defences are up aka all those angry girls
(they could represent her defenses) but behind all that, shes actually sad and hurt.

The next one is probably how he cheated but regrets it now cuz shes gone.

Then when he’s in the water its like that phrase β€œthere’s plenty of other β€œfish” in the sea” (other girls) but he’s not interested, he wants her.

The clip with the bombs I have no clue... maybe his world blew up when she left.

In the ending when she’s driving away she’s basically taking everything with her. Including him. So he ends up being nothing without her. The End.

P.s I might be totally wrong but like i said, it was worth a shot.

IMO - Opening scene "til death do us part" they parted thus equaling in their deaths. He awakens from his coffin, trying to rekindle the old love. Her mother is angry from a protective standpoint, she hates how much he has hurt her and wants him to just leave her alone. He awakens her with a scorpion sting, instilling old love that awakens her. She mocks him by pouring alcohol on him, the alcohol has clearly caused problems in the relationship before and she screams out of frustration that the same things he told her would change haven't. Broken promises and arguments have led to her becoming numb and emotionless, and when he tries to confront her, she's so emotionally unavailable that he doesn't recognize the person that she's become and she pushes him away (needing space and time to think about things). Her friends prevent him from contacting her and he turns back to his alcohol addiction. He finds himself in a hotel with another woman that he clearly has tied feelings of his failing relationship to and the further he goes with this other woman the more he knows he'll never be able to save the relationship with the woman he truly loves. (As told by him visioning her in the room witnessing and suffering with heartbreak.) He's then forced to think about life without her, and telling himself there are "plenty of fish in the sea". When in reality he knows that's not what he wants. He convinces her to talk, which turns into a battlefield between one another, her sitting and listening to him speak. He possibly confesses to hooking up with another woman while they were taking a break, which drops a literal bomb on her. And in turn results in her packing her things and leaving for good as his entire life is torn apart by her departure.
