I'm still here, still around
You put my picture face down
I count the hours, count aloud
You count me out
You sent your signals
So I send flowers to the door
That I can't walk through anymore
Never meant to break your back
Never meant to [C7]start a fire
Never meant to [C7]hold your head under the water, my [A]love
When you [A7get this call [Em]me back
I'll be [Am]walking on [C7]a wire
Hoping you [A7can take me back in spite of everything I've done
Put on [C7]your favorite dress
You're such a mess, I drag like [F]a cigarette
You didn't have to [C7]look so nice
To get me thinking twice
I've never seen you [A7walk so proudly
I've never seen you [A7sleep so soundly
I'm crying and [Bm]tɾying, you [A7just quit
Because you [A7just won't deal with it
Never meant to [C7]break your back
Never meant to [C7]start a fire
Never meant to [C7]hold your head under the water, my [A]love
When you [A7get this call [Em]me back
I'll be [Am]walking on [C7]a wire
Hoping you [A7can take me back in spite of everything I've done
We can't go back, we can't go back
To where we started
I won't let that, I can't let that
Leave us lonely hearted
I'd ɾather fight than sleep tonight
Please don't ɾoll your eyes, love
I'm not about to [C7]let you [A7go
Never meant to [C7]break your back
Never meant to [C7]start a fire
Never meant to [C7]hold your head under the water, my [A]love
When you [A7get this call [Em]me back
I'll be [Am]walking on [C7]a wire
Hoping you [A7can take me back in spite of everything I've done
(We can't go back, we can't go back)
