[Intro - sparse piano, breathy hums, intimate] Mm-mm Yeah I said I was done Yeah I said I was done But here I am again [Verse 1] I fold my pride up small and put it in a drawer Tell myself I do not need you like before Then your name hits my phone like a flash of light And my whole "I am fine" turns into a lie You talk so sweet, then you go cold on me Like love got rules that you will not explain I hate the way I wait, I hate the way I stay But when you pull me close I forget my own pain [Pre-Chorus] I try to leave, I count to ten But my heart runs back before my head can Every time I swear I learned You look at me and the lesson burns [Chorus] And I go back, back to you Even when I know it is bad for me Yeah I go back, back to you Like I need the hurt to feel something I keep saying "no more" Then I am at your door I go back, back to you Back to you [Verse 2] I could have peace, I could have sleep at night But I keep trading calm for the way you feel right One minute you are home, next minute you are gone And I am holding on to a shadow with my arms My friends say "girl, you better let that go" But they do not hear the words you whisper low You make me laugh, then you make me doubt Like you love me best when you are halfway out [Pre-Chorus] I try to leave, I count to ten But my heart runs back before my head can Every time I swear I am through I break myself just to get back to you [Chorus] And I go back, back to you Even when I know it is bad for me Yeah I go back, back to you Like I need the hurt to feel something I keep saying "no more" Then I am at your door I go back, back to you Back to you [Bridge - piano only, raw, close-mic vocal] Tell me the truth Do you love me Or do you love how I forgive How I stay How I bend I do not wanna be your maybe I do not wanna be your "when" But I miss you like a habit And I hate it, I hate it [Breakdown - half-time drums, whispered adlibs, tension rising] Mm Say I am stronger, then I shake Say I am done, then I break One look, one touch, and I move Like I got nothin' to prove [Final Chorus - full drums, stacked harmonies, bigger energy] And I go back, back to you Even when I know it is bad for me Yeah I go back, back to you Like I need the hurt to feel something I keep saying "no more" Then I am at your door I go back, back to you Back to you I go back, back to you Yeah I do, yeah I do I go back, back to you And it hurts, but it is true [Outro - gospel-like vamp, adlibs, fade out] Back to you Mm-mm, back to you I go back again Back to you Why do I go back again Back to you Mm-mm
