You can write my place
Out of the life you make
And all the things that mattered
When you knew my face
Cross off all the ways I failed you
'Cause I failed you
But I'm still in your blood
You're still in my blood
A time when all your mistakes
Made sense, you needed it
A time when all the lying
Simply passed as sin
All this sabotage you bring
Well, I can't take it
'Cause I just want you back
I just want you back
Temporary battles
Can take up half your life
How you dig your bed
Will it help you sleep at night?
Forgiveness like a blanket
That you want to forget
But you still crumble at my name
You still crumble at my name
A time when all your mistakes
Made sense, you needed it
A time when all the lying
Simply passed as sin
All this sabotage you bring
Well, I can't take it
'Cause I just want you back
I just want you back
