Lyrics
Don't give up so easy, we could work it out
Expressing the importance of perseverance and working through challenges in the relationship.
I don't wanna let you be a part of my past
Desire to keep the person in the present and not let them become a part of past experiences.
Way before I came up you was holdin' me down
Acknowledging the support received even before achieving success or fame.
I'll always put you first, just to make sure we last
Commitment to prioritizing the person to ensure a lasting relationship.
I don't wanna fight about the things that we did
Expressing a reluctance to argue or fight about past actions.
I don't wanna argue like we used to (used to)
Desire to avoid conflicts reminiscent of the past.
I'm wonderin' why you just can't forget and forgive
Questioning the difficulty of forgetting and forgiving past mistakes.
Just let me hold you down like I used to (like I used to)
Expressing a wish to provide support and stability as in the past.
I keep holding on
Repetition of the commitment to holding on despite challenges.
I can't lose you, I won't give up
Affirming the determination not to give up on the relationship.
The nights are feelin' long
Acknowledging the emotional difficulty and length of the nights without the person.
I'm losin' sleep dreaming 'bout us
Expressing the impact of the relationship on sleep and dreams.
And after all we've done
Reflecting on shared experiences and accomplishments in the relationship.
Don't you dare walk out on me
Strong plea not to end the relationship despite challenges.
'Cause I keep holding on
Reiteration of the commitment to holding on.
This can't be a memory
Expressing disbelief that the relationship could be just a memory.
In the past I know I lied to you
Admitting past dishonesty and regrets in the relationship.
I won't blame it on my ignorance
Rejecting the excuse of ignorance for past mistakes.
Now I'd rather that you know the truth
Preferring honesty and transparency over previous lies.
I know for us it's worth it in the end
Believing that the relationship is valuable and worth the struggles.
We askin' questions like an interview
Using a metaphor of an interview to describe communication in the relationship.
Always talkin', never listenin'
Critiquing a lack of effective communication, with an emphasis on talking but not listening.
I made mistakes but, baby, so did you
Acknowledging mistakes made by both parties without placing blame.
We only did it out of innocence
Highlighting innocence as a factor in the mistakes made.
I keep holding on
Repetition of the commitment to holding on despite challenges.
I can't lose you, I won't give up
Affirming the determination not to give up on the relationship.
The nights are feelin' long
Acknowledging the emotional difficulty and length of the nights without the person.
I'm losin' sleep dreaming 'bout us
Expressing the impact of the relationship on sleep and dreams.
And after all we've done
Reflecting on shared experiences and accomplishments in the relationship.
Don't you dare walk out on me
Strong plea not to end the relationship despite challenges.
'Cause I keep holding on
Reiteration of the commitment to holding on.
This can't be a memory
Expressing disbelief that the relationship could be just a memory.
