Backwards

Once upon a time, there were things that we didn't mind, oh

I'd hop in for a ride, movin' fast, never lookin' backwards

Play our favorite songs, do the words still make you feel the same? Oh

Once upon a time, drivin' fast, never lookin' back

I know that I know how to find words

Say 'em out loud

I'm done lettin' myself down

My heart came from the right place

I don't want to cause heartache

But my mind just couldn't translate

How to deal with these emotions

Can start fire and still get burn

And I'll fuel it like I ain't learnt

'Cause it hurts me if I hurt you

So I hurt you, so you hatе me

But you won't leave, I can't gеt out

How you held me, oh

I hope that you see

There's no way you'd know

How, how you helped me[Verse 2]

Now I'm drivin' fast like the way that you used to drive, oh

I'd jump into your bed, live your days, they were never mine

Tell me why the light stayed on red, that must have been a sign

All these little things that we missed, we'll get over in time

You taught me about patience

Raised all my expectations

You showed me what's my ground

I stand here and I look down

On myself and I'm so proud

Thank you 'cause I've figured out

What's best for me is on my own now

It's been a while and I'm grown now

But I'd never have grown if you weren't 'round

You've shown me what's meant to be

What's meant for you is not meant for me

And we'll find out in this next life

How you held me, oh

I hope that you see

There's no way you'd know

How, how you helped me
