Don't Call Me Up
R3hab Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We lived fast
We were young, wild and reckless
All we had was time
Now we drive fast to the sound of the sirens
The spark is gone in your eyes
I was blind, didn't see you were hurting
But all this time you tried
So stay with me, we can fight through violence
I'll be right here tonight

Don't you even think 'bout giving up on me now
Don't you even think 'bout walking out of my life
Everything I do, I do it for you
I need you to stay, stay tonight
Don't give up on me now

I'll hold you close
I'll be counting the seconds
Now all we need is time
I wanna say those things that I never told you
So don't leave me behind

Don't you even think 'bout giving up on me now
Don't you even think 'bout walking out of my life
Everything I do, I do it for you
I need you to stay, stay tonight
Don't give up on me now




Don't give up on me now
Don't give up on me now
