"Take It Or Leave It" lyrics
"Take It Or Leave It"
Yeah, all the highs and lows
The loss of inhibitions
I'm under the throws of all my bad decisions
Everybody's asking questions I don't know
Secretly, I'm desperate to stay in control
I will give you my confession, I'm alone, oh
So take it or leave it, my voice is nearly broken
Drowning in slow motion
'Cause, oh, I'm down and hopeless, it's true
So take it or leave it, I'm numb, my body's frozen
And all my doors are closing
My light is dying slowly, it's true
So take it or leave it all
People come and go
It takes a lot to faze me, living on the road
Been through so many stages
Everybody's asking questions I don't know
Secretly I'm desperate to stay in control
I will give you my confession, I'm alone, oh
So take it or leave it, my voice is nearly broken
Drowning in slow motion
'Cause, oh, I'm down and hopeless, it's true
So take it or leave it, I'm numb, my body's frozen
And all my doors are closing
My light is dying slowly, it's true
So take it or leave it all
'Cause I'm right here
So take it or leave it all
'Cause I'm right here
So take it or leave it all
Maybe you're my medicine
Like a sort of adrenaline
All my lies, all my sins
I wish I would've been a better friend
I'm just trying to find a way to win
Maybe I want too many things
And I hope it'll all make sense in the end
My voice is nearly broken (I hope), drowning in slow motion
'Cause, oh, I'm down and hopeless, it's true (I hope)
And I hope it'll all make sense in the end
Now my body's frozen (I hope)
And all my doors are closing (It'll all make sense in the end)
My light is dying slowly, it's true (I hope)
It'll all make sense in the end

James Arthur told about the meaning behind "Take It Or Leave It", "I'm saying, 'I'm broken. I feel like my doors are closing. I'm at the end, I'm even giving up on music in a way. I don't even know if I want to play this game anymore. I don't get the same thing that I used to get from it.' And then the real confessional part of the song comes in the middle eight leading into the last chorus where I say, 'It'll all make sense in the end.'"
