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 of this and I I still want you back 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 'Cause 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 of 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 of this and I I still want you back I still want you back I still want you back
