Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴Verse 1
I try and try to make you cry
And make you love me
Oh I would say yes
Oh I would say yes
The need to be the best before the need to rest
Oh I would say yes
Oh I would say yes

See, my wait is you

To make the pain defuse the flame can be trying
