Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm on a ride (Oh)
Why did I agree to go?
Sick to my stomach on the climb (Oh)
It all looks different above
It's so unappealing
My stupid feelings I don't show
I think my girl was stealing
Cause I was seeing my heart on the floor
I say it cause my heart is where I'm bleeding
But you don't wanna stop it girl
Are you kidding me?
I just wanna give you the world
Say I just wanna give you the world
I say it cause my heart is where I'm bleeding
Wasting all my energy
Are you hearing me?
I just wanna give you the world
Say I just wanna give you the world, yeah
I gave it everything that I got (Oh)
Ooo my mind is blank baby
I barely know my name
I know you confused
But I swear it's not the same
I do what I do
I hate to complain
Picturing the sun while I'm rolling in the rain
Ooo that's not fair
That's just how it goes
Some people candid but with me, I gotta find a pose
Wanting perfection even though I know it don't exist
Please someone tell me how the world came to this
I say it cause my heart is where I'm bleeding
But you don't wanna stop it girl
Are you kidding me?
I just wanna give you the world
Say I just wanna give you the world
I say it cause my heart is where I'm bleeding
Wasting all my energy
Are you hearing me?
I just wanna give you the world
Say I just wanna give you the world, yeah
Forever and ever I'm begging to stay
You never believed me I'm running away
Terrified what I'm saying is a lie
What?
I say it cause my heart is where I'm bleeding
But you don't wanna stop it girl
Are you kidding me?
I just wanna give you the world
Say I just wanna give you the world
I say it cause my heart is where I'm bleeding
Wasting all my energy
Are you hearing me?




I just wanna give you the world
Say I just wanna give you the world, yeah
