Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When it's late I'm a mess, you can tell, I can guess
There's a weight in your eyes, you and me, we're all out of lies
I said it's alright if you wanna fight now
'Cause I know we can go all night
[Verse 2]
Baby, wait a minute 'cause it's all I got
I was hangin' on a moment it wouldn't stop
God damn, it's never easy, you know it's true
But the worst in me can bring out the best in you
[Verse 3]
Run away from it all, you can hide, I can stall
And I know that I'm wrong but I can't stop now 'cause I'm too far gone
It's alright (It's alright) If you wanna cry now (If you wanna cry now)
'Cause I don't wanna calm this down
[Verse 4]
Baby, wait a minute 'cause it's all I got
I was hangin' on a moment that wouldn't stop
God damn, it's never easy, you know it's true
But the worst in me can bring out the best in you
[Verse 5]
You tear it away a piece at a time
Hangin' your head like you're losin' a best friend
The stain on your heart in the shape of a name
Carved there by me
[Verse 6]
Take it all as it comes
Fight it out till it's done
All the weight and the blame
In the end, we're the same
[Verse 7]
Baby, wait a minute 'cause it's all I got
I was hangin' on a moment that wouldn't stop
God damn, it's never easy, you know it's true
But the worst in me can bring out the best in you
[Verse 8]
Baby, wait a minute 'cause it's all I got
I was hangin' on a moment that wouldn't stop (I could bring out the best in you)
God damn, it's never easy, you know it's true
You know the worst in me can bring out the best in you
