Want You Back Lyrics

There's empty hooks on the wall where the pictures used to hang at

Words I recall thinking how she even say that

Cold pillow cases where your head use to lay at

Catch a whiff of perfume nostalgia taken straight back

I remember you used to say that you hate that

Thoughts of us separated now I'm praying for a way back

Baby girl it's been done for a minute hate to say that

Emotions holdin me so I go ahead and I just lay tracks

Coming from the heart an it's nothin but them straight facts

This is my escape hopin that you hear the play back

Creatin this illusion my delusion got me way wrapped

Up in this confusion the conclusion been the same as

You decided you findin you was the safe bet

No room in the future for a goon so I just say less

Out of tune with my boo who I knew how I stay blessed

Autotune on my new tracks so you can hear my pain less

In my feelings my pride is a product of my vainness

Got me searching for myself but feeling rather faceless

Hastiness overtake the reality of saneness

Hanging me out to dry and stayin in the same mess

Hanging outside trying to see if there's a place left

For me to hang my head high or do I wander aimless

Continuously because the villain in me

Want to go and take it back it's killin me see

To be without you is like i can't even breathe

My life force diminish if your really finished with me

It's been so hard without you

I feel like I'm slipping fast

Since I've been without you

can't deal I been missing you so bad

And it's so sad

Thinking bout this life that we both had

It's once upon a time

Now you're gone and I'm wrong

And I'm left here with my mind and the rhyme in this song

After all these years ya gonna ghost n leavin me embarrassed

Lost the most in my life and that pain was a challenge

Now I see it so clearly and how I mismanaged

What I held so dearly was severely mishandled

But listen what I can do is learn from my mistakes

That's what a real man do handle n embrace

The whole situation that he managed to create

The scandal in my mind was my own heartbreak

It might take a minute for me to get with it and snap back

I been trying to live with it forget it take my laugh back

Dying just a little but insistent I'm on the right track

If I'm lying than god as witness you can take my life back

But I'm reciting the truth n that's proof I'll always fight back

So write that down seal it and send it with a stamp

Haunted by the fact that I'll always want you back

But the fact of the matter is you never wanted that

I'm responsible for that

I'm not passing the blame

And it cost me the most and not worth what I ended up payin

I lost what told myself was always the source of the pain

That's a cop out to the fact I was the one hostin the shame

So I'm just gonna rock on keep it 100 the same

And the lessons that I learned are permanently etched in my brain

Now I'm all sketched out and depression driving the train

So next stop guess I'll get off and walk in the rain

It's been so hard without you

I feel like I'm slipping fast

Since I've been without you

Can't deal I been missing you so bad

And it's so sad

Thinking bout this life that we both had

It's once upon a time

Now you're gone and I'm wrong

And I'm left here with my mind and the rhyme in this song
