Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Right now, you suck
You call me up
And get upset for nothin'
For nothin', yeah
Yeah, I'm a mess
You treat me wrong
Cuts harder when you fight it
We fight it, yeah
Baby, let me get this off my chest
Only gonna give you one more chance
I need you to love me better
Don't act like you fit the tact
Gave ya my heart, now give it back
When you gonna learn to love me better
To love me better
Better
To love me better
Come back to mine
I'll treat you right
You've got no time
So I plan my life around you
Where are you, now?
I try so hard
You lead me on
You've lost your charm
And traded it for Prada
Who are you, now?
Baby, let me get this off my chest
Only gonna give you one more chance
I need you to love me better
Don't act like you fit the tact
Gave ya my heart, now give it back
When you gonna learn to love me better
To love me better
To love me, love me better
To love me better
I want to
Still love you
But it's hard to
When I'm left alone
I want to
Still love you
But it's hard to, baby
Baby, let me get this off my chest
Only gonna give you one more chance
I need you to love me better
Don't act like you fit the tact
Gave ya my heart, now give it back
When you gonna learn to love me better
To love me better
I need you to love me better
