Don't Throw It Away
Jonas Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pack up your love with all your things
See if it helps, give it a week
I bet no one else gets you like me
'Cause I know you think you're better off without me now
Sayin' all you need is space, baby, we can work this out
Don't throw it away, it's fine, just don't forget to think of me
Don't throw it away, your mind is messin' with your head again
Instead of walkin' away you should give it a break, tell me what to say
Don't throw it away
Don't save the words 'til it's too late
I know it hurts and that's okay
If it's too much to open up, then give it time
I see it in your eyes so let's sleep on it tonight
'Cause I know you think you're better off without me now
Sayin' all you need is space, baby, we can work this out
But don't throw it away this time, just take a little time to think
Don't throw it away, it's fine, just don't forget to think of me
Don't throw it away, your mind is messin' with your head again
Instead of walkin' away you should give it a break, tell me what to say
Don't throw it away
Take your time-time, take your time, don't throw it away
Take your time-time, don't throw it away, yeah
Take your time-time, take your time, don't throw it away, yeah
Take your time-time, don't throw it away
But don't throw it away this time, just take a little time to think
Don't throw it away, it's fine, just don't forget to think of me
Don't throw it away, your mind is messin' with your head again
Instead of walkin' away you should give it a break, tell me what to say
Don't throw it away this time, just take a little time to think
Don't throw it away, it's fine, just don't forget to think of me
Don't throw it away, your mind is messin' with your head again
Instead of walkin' away you should give it a break, tell me what to say
Don't throw it away
The lyrics of Jonas Brothers' song Don't Throw It Away encourage someone not to give up on a relationship just yet. The song expresses the sentiment that sometimes when things get difficult, it's easy to throw it all away and walk away. The first verse urges the person to take all the pictures of the frames and pack up their love along with their belongings, without forgetting to take a week's time to consider if it’s what they really want. The chorus repeats the title of the song "Don't throw it away" and emphasizes taking a little time to think before acting.
In the second verse, Jonas Brothers encourage their significant other to communicate and not keep their feelings inside until it’s too late. They suggest if opening up is too difficult, maybe it's time to step back and give it a little time, and then sleep on it. The chorus is repeated three times, iterating the same message - not to give up on the relationship, but to take the time required to evaluate it and then make a call.
The lyrics are set against a soft, mellow tempo and the harmonies of the brothers Jonas blend well as they switch lead vocals throughout the song. The song has an acoustic pop vibe that fits the theme they sing about. Overall, the song is a gentle reminder that relationships worth having require a certain amount of effort and communication, and giving up on something without due consideration can be a significant loss.

The meaning behind this song is so powerful! As a married woman, I love these encouraging and wise words in the midst of a society that tells you to act on your emotions instead of persevering through the hard times of a relationship. ❤️ Our emotions are fickle and fleeting and can cause us to act irrationally and forget the truth of our situation. Don’t throw a beautiful love story away because of small things. The grass is not always greener on the other side. Remember the bigger picture🥰
@beatrizvalencio20
YEAH!
@miracle_xo
I love this album! Each song radiates different emotions and we all have a song that relates to us in some ways. Don't throw it away their vocals wow I can feel the emotion. Harmonies on the chorus are so good 🙌🏻

This song is so underrated. Probably one of my favorite songs off Happiness Begins.
@KB-py4cz
Same honestly. It has such a good beat and the vocals are amazing. This song made me start falling in love with the Jonas Brothers.
@lust4destiny
Marian Iglesias Right! This is one of my top favorites from the album.
@oceancadette4021
I don’t get it why it’s not popular? The song itself is a perfect fit for the summer. Also my most favorite in the album.
