Want You Back

I was treading water ‘til the minute we met ‘Til you caught a teacher’s daughter with a dangerous text I read it like a bible and I wore it like a bulletproof vest Found myself a lover that made everything rhyme Slept under your covers it made everything right Yeah I was the dj and the darling of your passenger side So I know that you did bad But if one more person says it, I might go mad Yeah I know it didn’t last And what was cheap to you, to me was all I had The issue is I know all this and I, I still want you back Found yourself a lover, I bet she doesn’t sing But baby when you touch her, I bet she doesn’t flinch She’ll have you every summer when I only had you half of a spring You left like an assassin, maybe that’s for the best Coz if you’d told me what would happen, I think I would’ve begged So you got to be a coward and I salvaged a little self respect Yeah I know that you did bad But if one more person says it, I might go mad Yeah I know it didn’t last And what was cheap to you, to me was all I had The issue is I know all this and I, I still want you back I am not allowed to want you any longer I must go out with a stranger, I must kiss him to get stronger So I don’t tell a soul But I’d be yours again tomorrow if you wanted But you don’t wanna So I know that you did bad But if one more person says it, I might go mad It wasn’t real, it was for me but you know that And I bet you’ve thrown away our photographs The issue is I know all this and I, I still want you back
