Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No more glow no
The star of mine, mine
Is my star no more.
I did you wrong but this I know.
Come keep me warm please,
Girl I'm so cold.
Yeah
Ooh
Lemme talk to ya,
Cold winter nights
By myself
Blankets just won't do.
I need your help.
Cause I don't wanna miss the way your body feels no more.
No I don't.
It's only been two days (yeah)
Since you been gone (yeah)
But those few moments feel so long
Now I'm sitting at the edge of my bed with my hands on head
And the only thing I've been thinking while I been alone is that
I can't let you go I won't let you leave.
One thing that I know
Is that baby you were made for me for sure
My life is in your hands,
I live to be your man
We're made to be together
So baby no, no don't go, don't go
Girl if you don't know
I'll give my heart I'll give my soul for sure
I'm right here on my knees
If were to leave I'd lose my everything
You complete me baby
Don't you let nothing come between us
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Alcohol has been my best friend
And I admit some tears have passed my chin
Crying in the bed over you just ain't manly
But I don't give a damn (no)
Cause I can wash these pillow cases and
I can change these sheets baby
But I need you back in the crib cooking up
Some of that good chicken and gravy mash potatoes
Homemade lemonade want you back to the old days
You've been with me since I had long braids and
I can't let you go I won't let you leave.
One thing that I know
Is that baby you were made for me for sure
My life is in your hands,
I live to be your man
We're made to be together
So baby no, no don't go, don't go
Girl if you don't know
I'll give my heart I'll give my soul for sure
I'm right here on my knees
If were to leave I'd lose my everything
Girl my heart won't beat
At night I can't sleep no
Ooh your haunting my dreams
All I know is I want to hold to memories
When you touch I touch you
Then you'd moan and you'd scream (ooh baby)
(oh girl) girl you know just what you do to me
I acted so stupidly and unless you wanna take my soul
No, don't go
I can't let you go I won't let you leave.
One thing that I know
Is that baby you were made for me for sure
My life is in your hands,
I live to be your man
We're made to be together
So baby no, no don't go, don't go
Girl if you don't know
I'll give my heart I'll give my soul for sure
I'm right here on my knees
If were to leave I'd lose my everything
Don't you go away
(Stop I cant)
No baby no don't you go away
(I just I just need time)
Don't you leave me girl
(Don't do this)
Don't you leave me girl
(please)
Don't you leave me girl
(I gotta run with my mind)
Don't you leave me girl
(baby, baby stop it, OK)
We're made to be together
(I'll stay)
The lyrics to Trey Songz's "Made to Be Together" are about a man who is begging for forgiveness from his partner after hurting her. The first verse starts with a metaphor for his life without her, likening it to a sun that won't shine and a star that has lost its glow. He knows that he did her wrong, but he's pleading with her to come back to him because he's so cold without her. In the second verse, he describes how he's been faring without her, how the blankets don't keep him warm at night, and how he's been crying and drinking to try and cope with the pain.
The chorus is where he pleads with her not to leave him because he knows that they were made to be together. He says that his life is in her hands and that he lives to be her man. He is willing to give his heart and soul to keep her because he knows that she completes him. He also mentions specific memories that he wants to hold onto, like the way she touches him and the sound of her moans, suggesting that their physical connection is an essential part of their bond. The song ends with him begging her not to go and promising to stay if she does.
Overall, "Made to Be Together" is a heartfelt plea from Trey Songz to his partner to forgive him and come back to him. It's about recognizing the importance of the relationship and asking for another chance.

Sun won't shine shine
The light and warmth of my life is gone
No more glow no
I am left in the darkness without your light
The star of mine, mine
You were the shining star that made my life complete
Is my star no more.
But now you are gone and my life is incomplete
I did you wrong but this I know.
I messed up, but I know we were meant to be together
Come keep me warm please,
I need your love and comfort to get me through
Girl I'm so cold.
Without you, my heart feels cold and empty
Cold winter nights
I am alone and miserable without you
By myself
No one else can fill the void you left in my heart
Blankets just won't do.
Nothing else can keep me warm like your love
I need your help.
I am lost without you and need you to come back
Cause I don't wanna miss the way your body feels no more.
I don't want to spend another day without the love and intimacy we shared
No I don't.
I can't bear the thought of losing you
It's only been two days (yeah)
Even though it's only been a short time since you left
Since you been gone (yeah)
It feels like an eternity without you here
But those few moments feel so long
Every second feels like an eternity without you here
Now I'm sitting at the edge of my bed with my hands on head
I am lost and alone without you
And the only thing I've been thinking while I been alone is that
All I can think about is how much I need you
I can't let you go I won't let you leave.
I am not willing to give up on us, we belong together
One thing that I know
I am sure of one thing
Is that baby you were made for me for sure
We were meant to be together, you are my soulmate
My life is in your hands,
You have the power to make or break me
I live to be your man
My purpose in life is to love and cherish you
So baby no, no don't go, don't go
Please don't leave me, I need you in my life
Girl if you don't know
If you are unsure of how I feel
I'll give my heart I'll give my soul for sure
I am willing to do whatever it takes to win you back
I'm right here on my knees
I am begging you to stay with me
If were to leave I'd lose my everything
Without you, my life would be incomplete and meaningless
You complete me baby
You are the missing piece that makes my life whole
Don't you let nothing come between us
We can overcome any obstacle if we stay together
Alcohol has been my best friend
I am using alcohol to numb the pain of losing you
And I admit some tears have passed my chin
I am not too proud to admit that I am hurting without you
Crying in the bed over you just ain't manly
But I know that being vulnerable and expressing my emotions is important
But I don't give a damn (no)
I don't care what anyone else thinks, I need you back in my life
Cause I can wash these pillow cases and
I can clean everything in the house, but it won't be home without you
I can change these sheets baby
I can make the bed and keep the house clean, but it's not the same without you here
But I need you back in the crib cooking up
I miss the simple things, like coming home to meals you cooked
Some of that good chicken and gravy mash potatoes
I miss your home-cooked meals and the love you put into them
Homemade lemonade want you back to the old days
I miss the good times we had together and want to go back to how things used to be
You've been with me since I had long braids and
We've been together through thick and thin, and I can't imagine my life without you
Girl my heart won't beat
Without you, my heart doesn't feel alive
At night I can't sleep no
I am tormented by thoughts of you and can't find peace
Ooh your haunting my dreams
Even in my dreams, I can't escape thoughts of you
All I know is I want to hold to memories
All I have left are memories of our time together and I hold onto them tightly
When you touch I touch you
I miss the physical connection we had and the way our bodies fit together
Then you'd moan and you'd scream (ooh baby)
I miss the passion and intensity of our lovemaking
(oh girl) girl you know just what you do to me
You have always had the power to drive me wild with desire
I acted so stupidly and unless you wanna take my soul
I know I made mistakes, but I will do whatever it takes to make it right
No, don't go
Please don't leave me, I need you and I love you
Stop I cant
I am overwhelmed by the pain of losing you
I just I just need time
I need time to heal and make things right with you
Don't do this
Please don't leave me, I need you in my life
please
I am begging you to stay with me
I gotta run with my mind
I am struggling to find a way to fix things between us
baby, baby stop it, OK
I am willing to do whatever it takes to keep you in my life
We're made to be together
I know in my heart that we belong together
I'll stay
I am committed to making our relationship work and I will stay by your side

I've been a Trey Songz fan since his first album.....Today I listened to most of his music and I just see the grown and maturity in his music.He's doing a great job he was definitely put on this earth to sing.

lorenzo smith
Facts this song has a purpose.
Nate Frierson
I never valued this song until I was hurt.. I’m healed now but I appreciate this
NoName
my favourite part of this entire song is this part: "girl my heart won't beat right, i can't sleep nights; ooh you're haunting my dreams.. - all i know is i hold onto memories. when you touch, i touch you, when you moaning you screaaam[8]". i don't know why, but i just LOVE it, it's such an amazing song<3, and the 7 people who dislike it obviously don't know good music when they hear it.
