Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't waste my time
Don't break my mind
Don't take my life away
Don't tell me lies
I know you've tried
It's something I forgave
Don't waste my time
Don't break my mind
Don't tell me lies again
Don't take my life
I know you'll try
It's something I can take

You make me wanna get
My shit together now
You make me wanna get
My shit together now

Don't waste my time
Don't break my mind
Don't take my life away
Don't tell me lies
I know you've tried
It's something I forgave
Don't waste my time
Don't break my mind
Don't tell me lies again
Don't take my life




I know you'll try
It's something I can take
