Lyrics
Time and time again I convince myself that we ain't over
Expressing the repetitive nature of convincing oneself that the relationship is not over.
Don't listen to my friends when they say I'm the fool cause they don't know love
Disregarding friends' opinions, asserting they lack understanding of true love.
Then you go and do some shit that proves them all right
Highlighting actions that confirm the friends' skepticism and validate their viewpoint.
Each and every time
Emphasizing the recurrence of the negative behavior.
I try to make it work
Expressing attempts to salvage the relationship.
I try to make it work, but I just end up hurt
Revealing persistent failure in making the relationship work, leading to emotional pain.
I tell you it's okay cause I don't wanna leave
Conveying a willingness to endure difficulties for the sake of the relationship.
But you make it so hard for me to stay so I run away
Describing the emotional challenge of staying in the relationship, prompting the desire to escape.
Every time I try to ignore it my mind just reminds me we're through
Acknowledging the difficulty in ignoring the reality of the relationship's end.
And even if you try to move on ain't another you'll find that'll do what I do
Asserting the uniqueness of the speaker's actions and the difficulty in finding a replacement.
You lied to me so many times I just can't take no more
Expressing frustration and disappointment due to repeated lies in the relationship.
You're dragging my heart to the floor
Depicting the emotional impact of the partner's actions on the speaker.
I try to make it work
Reiterating the futile efforts to make the relationship function.
I try to make it work, but I just end up hurt

I tell you it's okay cause I don't wanna leave
Stating acceptance to keep the relationship intact despite the challenges.
But you make it so hard for me to stay so I run away
Expressing the overwhelming difficulty of staying, leading to the decision to run away.
So here's what I wanna do, baby
Expressing a desire for a resolution, proposing an alternative to constant conflict.
Instead of me fighting with you, baby
Suggesting the choice to disengage from the relationship to avoid further strife.
I'll leave, I'mma let this shit free
Expressing the decision to let go and release oneself from the emotional burden.
Usually I don't run from nothing
Contrasting the usual behavior of not running away with the decision to leave this time.
Losing me with your lack of love hurts
Describing the pain caused by the partner's lack of love leading to the loss of the speaker.
I had enough
Declaring that the speaker has reached a limit and can no longer endure the situation.
I try to make it work

I try to make it work, but I just end up hurt

But you make it so hard for me to stay so I run away
