Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh dear God
Put me out of my misery
Take this heart

How did you get me like this
Huh?
It's bold of you to keep asking for more
'Cause you're so hard to quit
Uh
And it's so inconvenient for us both

And I-I
I tried, Lord did I try
I said I-I
But I'm stuck, with you on my mind

Oh dear God
Put me out of my misery
Take this heart
Hits me so hard
All about it just gets to me
Oh dear God

Don't really get what this is
Uh
It's not gold, but we keep acting like it's so
We just can't call it quits
Uh
We throw our dignity off with our clothes

And I-I
I tried, Lord did I try
I said I-I
But I'm stuck, with you on my mind

Oh dear God
Put me out of my misery
Take this heart
Hits me so hard
All about it just gets to me
Oh dear God

Oh God
Oh God
Oh God
Oh God
Oh God
Oh God
Oh God
Oh God

Uh, uh
I wanna know
Uh, uh
Do I love or let go

Oh dear God
Put me out of my misery
Take this heart
Hits me so hard
All about it just gets to me
Oh dear God

Oh God
Oh God
Oh God
Oh God
Oh God
Oh God




Oh God
Oh God
