Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Started out in the middle of this mess
as you can see, all the pain that I hold inside my chest
as it spoke to you
you said you never wanted anything more than this
now that you got it all oo its not enough
oo it was never enough for you

so should i take take take my love to someone else
I should I take take take my love to someone else
where do we go from here
where do we go now
where do we go from here
where do we go and go and go

so should I take my love to someone else

I should ah take take take my love to someone else

we're unwanted, we're unwanted

I should I take take take my love to someone else

now that you got it all, it was not enough
oh it was never enough for you

I could tell you were never at your best
and you could be
always looking at the whole inside your chest
as it spoke to you
you said you never wanted anything more than this

now that you got it all it was not enough
oh it was never enough for you
where do we go from here
where do we go now
where do we go from here
where do we go and go and go
you said you never wanted anything more than this
now that you got it all it was mot enough
oh, it was never enough for you




so should I take take take my love to someone else
I should I take take take my love to someone else
