Want You Back

I was treading water till the minute we met

Till 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 in love that made everything right

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 of this, and I

I still want you back

I still want you back

Found yourself a lover, I bet that she doesn't see

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 the spring

You left like an assassin, maybe that's for the best

'Cause if you'd told me what would happen, I think I would have 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 of this, and I

I still want you back

I'm 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 that I'll 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 of this, and I

I still want you back

I still want you back

I still want you back
