Backtrack
by BETTERLATE

Verse 1
Ask me again how I’ve been
I swear I know how to answer now
I know I said that we’re okay
But I just think it’s funny how
You said she was just a friend
But it don’t look like that now
No, it don’t look like that now

Verse 2
You’re looking well, you’re doing good
Everything is as you said
Or at least that’s how it should be
But I still need to pretend
That your eyes don’t search for her
Every time my sentence ends
Every time you and I end

Chorus
And I know we said our story was over
But, god, don’t you think you owe me some closure?
But no, instead you’ll pull her closer
And I know we said things we can’t take back
But darling I’d still love you like that
If you’d only let me backtrack
Let me backtrack
Let me backtrack

Verse 3
But oh well, what can you do?
And it seems it’s all worked out
Or at least that’s what I tell you as I try to forget how
The way you used to say my name
Well, it’s how you say hers now
And I’m tired of feeling down

Chorus
And I know I’ve made a mess of mistakes
And I’m sure it’s written all over my face
But now all my words feel like a waste
And I know we said things we can’t take back
But darling I’d still love you like that
If you’d only let me backtrack

Bridge
And I know we’re better off
And I’m begging you not to call my bluff
Cause I know that I can never say enough
And I know it’s the right thing
But fuck you if you think that takes away the sting
Fuck you for everything

Chorus
And I know we said our story was over
But, god, don’t you think you owe me some closure?
But no, instead you’ll pull her closer
And I know we said things we can’t take back
But darling I’d still love you like that
If you’d only let me backtrack
Let me backtrack
Let me backtrack
Let me backtrack

Outro
And I know you two are meant to be
And I know I’m lying through my teeth
Cause if I had my way, you’d be with me
You’d be with me
