Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah yeah 6x
Said I want you, to be mine
Crazy little game, sweet insider flames
Said I want you, to be mine
Perfect disaster, happily ever after
I want you, to be mine
Said I want you, to be mine
Ohhh
I been so alone
I just wanna run
Far away from home
Point me to the fun
You wish you were me
I wish I was you
If I had a list of all the petty shit I been through
Wasting my time, I been wasting my time
Tired of the hiccups and lies
Tired of the slip ups all the time
You been there for me
You been there for me
So it′s clear to see, you are all I need.
Said I want you, to be mine
Crazy little game, keep me entertained
Said I want you, to be mine
Don't play yourself
Please don′t, play yourself
I'm better, for your health
Don't play yourself
Please don′t, play yourself
I′m better, for your health
