Just a minute, just a minute
Don't give up before we try
We might not last forever
But we might just last tonight

Just a minute, just a minute
Don't give up and walk away
You said you loved me once
Now, tell me how to make you stay

But she was first, she was first to cross the finish line
She told the truth 'til it hurt and watched me die inside
She confessed, she's obsessed, but she's not in love
She wants more from us and this is not enough

This is gonna hurt, this is gonna hurt you
Stuffed inside your shirt is the wreckage that you go through
This is gonna hurt, this is gonna hurt you
Hide behind the words that she does not deserve you

Just a minute, just a minute
Don't give up before we try
We might not last forever
But we might just last tonight

Just a minute, just a minute
Don't give up and walk away
You said you loved me once
Now tell me how to make you stay
Tell me how to make you stay

She was first, she was first to ever understand
I needed strength, needed courage to feel like a man
I took it all, took it all, all she had to give
I called it mine, just like I robbed her blind

This is gonna hurt, this is gonna hurt you
Stuffed inside your shirt is the wreckage that you go through
This is gonna hurt, this is gonna hurt you
Hide behind the words that she does not deserve you

Just a minute, just a minute
Don't give up before we try
We might not last forever
But we might just last tonight

Just a minute, just a minute
Don't give up and walk away
You said you loved me once
Now, tell me how to make you stay

Tell me how to make you stay
Tell me how to make you stay
Tell me how to make you stay

Just a minute, just a minute
Don't give up before we try
We might not last forever
But we might just last tonight

Just a minute, just a minute
Don't give up and walk away
You said you loved me once
Now, tell me how to make you stay

Tell me how to make you stay
Tell me how to make you stay
Tell me how to make you stay
