Make Me Stay
Breaking Free: Jesse Jenkins' Anthem of Liberation
Lyrics
Sick and tired of all the fighting
Sick and tired of constant conflicts and disagreements
Really burnt out on this whole town
Feeling exhausted and worn out by the entire town
To tell the truth there's no use trying
Expressing that trying to resolve issues seems futile
To keep this up or hang around
No longer willing to continue the current situation or relationship
She says baby what if we start over
Suggesting the idea of a fresh start with the partner
Maybe we can try to work this out
Proposing an attempt to reconcile and improve the relationship
Never mind what I said last night
Regretting and apologizing for statements made in the previous night
I regret it and I'm sorry now
Expressing remorse and acknowledging the need for an apology
Gonna drink you away till the morning
Using alcohol to cope with emotions and escape from the current situation
One shot down a bottle to go
Drinking to numb the pain, emphasizing a significant quantity
Spare me the time and save your breath 'cause
Rejecting the need for an explanation or reassurance
These are words I already know
Already familiar with the partner's words, implying predictability
Baby I've had it and I'm over you
Expressing a strong desire to move on and end the relationship
cnd all the hell you've put me through
Reflecting on the difficulties and hardships caused by the partner
There ain't nothing you can do today
Stating that nothing the partner does today will change the decision
To make me stay
Emphatically declaring the decision to not stay in the relationship
Quit your crying, it's really over
Telling the partner to stop crying as the relationship is truly over
Pack my shit and I'm on my way
Preparing to leave by packing belongings and moving on
I won't ever let you slow me down
Determined not to let the partner hinder progress or happiness
Not now and never again
Firm in the decision to move forward without any hindrance
Gonna drink you away till the morning
Continuing to use alcohol as a coping mechanism
One shot down a bottle to go
Repeating the idea of consuming alcohol to deal with emotions
Spare me the time and save your breath 'cause
Rejecting the need for the partner to explain or speak
These are words I already know
Reiterating familiarity with the partner's words and actions
Baby I've had it and I'm over you
Expressing complete dissatisfaction and being done with the partner
cnd all the hell you've put me through
Reflecting on the emotional turmoil caused by the partner
There ain't nothing you can do today
Asserting that nothing the partner does today will change the decision
To make me stay
Reaffirming the decision to not stay in the relationship
Gonna drink you away till the morning
Continuing the pattern of using alcohol to cope and escape
One shot down a bottle to go
Emphasizing the consumption of alcohol as a way to deal with emotions
Spare me the time and save your breath 'cause
Dismissing the need for the partner to explain or communicate
These are words I already know
Stating awareness of the partner's words and actions
Baby I've had it and I'm over you
Communicating a strong desire to move on and end the relationship
cnd all the hell you've put me through
Reflecting on the hardships and difficulties caused by the partner
There ain't nothing you can do today
Affirming that nothing the partner does today will change the decision
To make me stay
Reiterating the firm decision to not stay in the relationship
Make me stay
Explicitly stating the unwillingness to be persuaded to stay
