Backbeat

Pulled up on side of my car Turned off the lights and I fixed my lips I told the mirror I was good My hands were shaking every step that I got Closer to the edge of reason And I couldn't really hear my brain tellin' me "What you doin' walkin' in like that?" "You know that this is gonna end real bad" You know it, you know it, you know it, but you won't let me go But you won't let me go So why you do me like that? Don't wanna dance in your backbeat Just wanna land on my two feet So what? It's just another heartbreak So why you do me, why you do me, why you do me like that? Now I'm a real good pretender 'Cause every day, I remember That it was just another heartbreak So why you do me, why you do me, why you do me like that? I get alone in my head Conversations while I'm waitin' to get some clarity too Daily confessions being read Said I'm repeating 'til you fade to black There's nothing here that I can't handle And every day, I feel more clear, then I Then I see you walkin' in like that And in a second, I go ten steps back Tonight, oh You know it, you know it, you know it, but you won't let me go But you won't let me go So why you do me like that? Don't wanna dance in your backbeat Just wanna land on my two feet So what? It's just another heartbreak So why you do me, why you do me, why you do me like that? Now I'm a real good pretender 'Cause every day, I remember That it was just another heartbreak So why you do me, why you do me, why you do me like that? Why you do me like? It's just another day in another life Why you do me like? Quit blowing up my life, walk away just fine I'm living every famous movie line I'm tryna be a big girl, but Truth's a bitter pill if you don't wanna believe it Don't wanna dance in your backbeat Just wanna land on my two feet So what? It's just another heartbreak So why you do me, why you do me, why you do me like that? Now I'm a real good pretender 'Cause every day, I remember That it was just another heartbreak So why you do me, why you do me, why you do me like that? Just another day in another damn life Don't leave, don't leave, don't leave I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it Don't leave, don't leave, don't leave I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it like that Don't leave, don't leave, don't leave I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it Don't leave, don't leave, don't leave I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it like that
