We found each other
When I helped you out of a broken place
You gave me comfort, mm-mm
But falling for you was my mistake

The singer reflects on how they met someone during a tough time for that person. They offered support and comfort but later realize that getting romantically involved was a mistake.

And, when times were rough, when times were rough
I made sure I held you close to me

I want you to stay (I want you to stay)
I want you to stay even though you don't want me
Girl, why can't you wait? (Girl, why can't you wait?)
Girl, why can't you wait 'til I fall out of love and
Won't call out my name? (Call out my name)
Well, call out my name and I'll be on my way
I'll be on my—

I almost cut a piece of myself for your life
Guess I was just another pit stop
Until you made up your mind
You're just wasting my time

And when times were rough and when times were rough
I made sure I held you close to me

I want you to stay (I want you to stay)
I want you to stay even though you don't want me
Girl, why can't you wait? (Girl, why can't you wait?), oh-oh
Girl, why can't you wait 'til I fall out of love and
Won't call out my name? (Call out my name)
Well, call out my name and I'll be on my way
