Take It or Leave It Lyrics
She's got a knack for hurting me
Is it the words she says
The only thing that keeps me here
Are her eyes in the morning
Well I've packed my things a thousand times
Oh, and I've fake-believed all her lies
For the last time
The other day I drew myself a map,
So I can figure out your head
The canvas dripped with my sweat, blood, and tears
And she hated every thread
I've packed my things a thousand times
Oh, and I've fake believed all your lies
For the last time
Take it or leave it
'Cause I'm really leaving
I've purchased my ticket to New York
First thing in the morning
Kissing you good morning and whispering "Goodbye"
Bye-e-i-i
And take it or leave it
Cause I'm really leaving
I've made up my mind this time
There's no coming back for you
Oh there's no coming back for you
(Take it or leave it now)
Told her no purse was more important
Than the knowledge in her head
She grabbed her **** like a baby
And couldn't believe the words I said
The only thing I ever see her read
Are those damn gossip magazines
That feed her head with all that nonsense, yeah
So she can fit in with the scene
Well I've packed my things a thousand times.
And I've fake-believed all your lies
For the last time
Take it or leave it
'Cause I'm really leaving
I've purchased my ticket to New York
First thing in the morning
Kissing you good morning and whispering "Goodbye"
Bye-e-i-i
And take it or leave it
Cause I'm really leaving
I've made up my mind this time
There's no coming back for you
Oh there's no coming back for you
(Take it leave it now)
And I'm always feeling incomplete
She smothered herself with her own beauty
And she was born and raised as Daddy's Princess
But her gesture is no match for an heiress
Yeah, her gesture is no match for an heiress
'Cause I try to love you,
Try to hold on to,
The feeling that makes me fall for you....
Oh, the feeling that makes me fall
Take it or leave it now
Take it or leave it.
'Cause I'm really leaving
I've purchased my ticket to New York
First thing in the morning
Kissing you good morning and whispering "Goodbye"
Bye-e-i-i
'Cause I try to love you,
Try to hold on to,
The feeling that makes me fall for you.
That makes me fall for you
Check it out
And take it or leave it.
'Cause I'm really leaving.
I've purchased my ticket to New York.
First thing in the morning
Kissing you good morning and whispering "Goodbye"
Bye-e-i-i
'Cause I try to love you,
Try to hold on to,
The feeling that makes me fall for you
Oh the feeling that makes me fall
Makes me fall for you
Is it the words she says
The only thing that keeps me here
Are her eyes in the morning
Oh, and I've fake-believed all her lies
For the last time
So I can figure out your head
The canvas dripped with my sweat, blood, and tears
And she hated every thread
Oh, and I've fake believed all your lies

First thing in the morning
Kissing you good morning and whispering "Goodbye"
Bye-e-i-i

There's no coming back for you
Oh there's no coming back for you

As a side note, the above lyrics aren't entirely correct. It's not 'her gesture', but 'a jester'.
She was born and raised daddy’s princess But a jester is no match for an heiress Yeah a jester is no match for an heiress

To put it short, He's tired of her and is giving her one last chance before leaving.
Oh, I've packed my things a thousand times, oh-ho-oh
This means he's thought about leaving alot, packing his things to leave - Then staying.
And I've faked believe all her lies, for the last time
This part means he has been pretending to believe lies to make her happy, and no longer will he.
The other day I drew myself a map So I could figure out your head
This means she gives off mixed signals, reacts easily, and is hard to understand, He's trying to understand her but it's impossiable.
The canvass dripped with my sweat, blood and tears And she hated every thread
This part is saying even when he works hard and trys, crys, bleeds, and sweats she hates it. She hates it despite his effort.
The first verse tells about the problem.
Take it or leave it
Means he's giving her a chance. Take him or leave him.
I've purchases my ticket to newyork means he's already about to go. It's almost to late. Take or leave?
Hopefully this helps, PM me if you'd like a further explanation.

i think this song may be about deciding whether to take it or leave it lol
Aside from stating the obvious, the song is about a guy sick of being played by a girl that he loves and he's finally putting his foot down and giving her that one last chance before he moves on.
