[Intro]
Don't tell me you want out of this
Don't say it's time for us to quit
Don't say goodbye, this can't be it
Baby, please, 'cause it's not worth it

[Interlude: Phone Call]
Baby, we wanted too much to just walk out on each other
I just, I just think we really need to think about it before we just leave
It's just not worth it
It's not worth the pain
It's not worth the waiting
It's not worth it to walk away
It's not worth it, think about it...

[Verse 1]
You came into my life
And it's so funny how you made everything right
And now you're sayin' to me something ain't right
What did I do? Did I hurt you?
Baby, can you tell me how to dry your eyes?
But let me say, I never meant to make you cry
If anything, I meant to be right by your side
How did I go wrong?
When my love is strong and all it ever wanted was you

[Pre-Chorus 1]
If I can ease the pain
Whatever it takes to, that is what I'll do
Why do you feel this way?
Baby, you don't have to, cause I am here for you

[Chorus]
Don't tell me you want out of this
Don't say it's time for us to quit
Don't say goodbye, this can't be it
Baby, please, 'cause it's not worth it
Don't tell me you want out of this
Don't say it's time for us to quit
Don't say goodbye, this can't be it (This can't be it)
Baby, please, 'cause it's not worth it

[Verse 2]
You mean the world to me
And all I do is try to give you all of me
I never do anything that wouldn't be pleasing to you
I never knew that you were hurting
And I'll take the blame for anything that I've done
That has caused you pain
I never meant to hurt you in any way
So this day, I wanna say
Baby, please forgive me

[Pre-Chorus 2]
If I can ease your pain (I would do it baby)
Whatever it takes to, that is what I'll do
(I would do anything you would want me to)
Why do you feel this way?
Baby, you don't have to, cause I am here for you

[Chorus]
Don't tell me you want out of this
Don't say it's time for us to quit
Don't say goodbye, this can't be it
Baby, please, 'cause it's not worth it
Don't tell me you want out of this
Don't say it's time for us to quit
Don't say goodbye, this can't be it
Baby, please, 'cause it's not worth it

[Bridge]
Don't wanna see you this way
What must I do to make it okay? (To make it all brand new)
Let me take the pain away (Let me take it all away)
Anything for you, 'cause, baby, I love you (C'ause I'm in love)
Don't wanna see you this way
What must I do to make it okay? ('Cause I will do)
Let me take (Or you) the pain away
Anything for you, 'cause, baby, I love you
('Cause, baby, I'm so in love with you)

[Chorus]
Don't tell me you want out of this
Don't say it's time for us to quit
Don't say goodbye, this can't be it (Don't you say goodbye to me)
Baby, please, 'cause it's not worth it
(It's not even worth this conversation right now)
Don't tell me you want out of this (Don't you play with me)
Don't say it's time for us to quit ('Cause I've been here for too long)
Don't say goodbye, this can't be it
(That's why this can't be it, it's not worth it)
Baby, please, 'cause it's not worth it

[Break]
Worth it, worth it
Whoa-whoa-whao
It's not over

[Chorus]
Don't tell me you want out of this
Don't say it's time for us to quit
Don't say goodbye, this can't be it (Can't be it)
Baby, please, 'cause it's not worth it

[Outro]
You ain't going nowhere, hahahaha
