Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't know what's next
Since you drew a line and I crossed it, girl, that's how you make an ex
Here we go again
It's over when I'm sober, so I'm drunk at 3 a.m.
[PreChorus]
Yeah, fireworks turn into grenades
They just blow up in my face (One, two, three)
[Chorus]
It's always one step forward and two boots back
The farther that I follow you, the further I seem to get
Yeah, maybe that's the way we're wired
The more I try to get you back, the more it backfires
I keep runnin' outta whiskey on account of chasin' you
Keep takin' that kickback, but babe, you must be bulletproof
Yeah, maybe that's the way we're wired
The more I try to get you back, the more it backfires
[PostChorus]
The more I try to get you back, the more it backfires
Mmm, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
Goodbyes ain't good
So if I shoot another shot, well, I'd shoot myself right in the foot
Heartbreak encore
I think I reached insanity 'cause I keep comin' back for more (One, two, three)
[Chorus]
It's always one step forward and two boots back
The farther that I follow you, the further I seem to get
Yeah, maybe that's the way we're wired
The more I try to get you back, the more it backfires
I keep runnin' outta whiskey on account of chasin' you
Keep takin' that kickback, but babe, you must be bulletproof
Yeah, maybe that's the way we're wired
The more I try to get you back, the more it backfires
[PostChorus]
The more I try to get you back, the more it backfires
[Bridge]
Yeah, our love's such a tortured game
I keep comin' back to you anyway
Yeah, fireworks turn into grenades
They just blow up in my face (One, two, three)
[Chorus]
It's always one step forward and two boots back
The farther that I follow you, the further I seem to get
Yeah, maybe that's the way we're wired
The more I try to get you back, the more it backfires
I keep runnin' outta whiskey on account of chasin' you
Keep takin' that kickback but, babe, you must be bulletproof
Yeah, maybe that's the way we're wired
The more I try to get you back, the more it backfires
[Outro]
Oh, the more I try to get you back, the more it backfires
Oh, yeah
