Mark My Words
Justin Bieber Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mark my words, that's all that I have
Mark my words, give you all I got
In every way, I will
You're the only reason why
Oh, I don't wanna live a lie
Mark my words
Mark my words
So you heard it all before
Falling in and out of trust
Trying to rekindle us
Only to lose yourself
But I won't let me lose you
And I won't let us just fade away
After all that we've been through
I'ma show you more than I ever could say

Mark my words, that's all that I have, oh-whoa
Mark my words, give you all I got
In every way, I will
You're the only reason why
Oh, I don't wanna live a lie

Mark my words
Mark my words, oh
