Want You Back
Echoes of Heartbreak: Tate Brusa's Tale of Love and Regret
Lyrics
Am I crazy, look at me know, I'm wondering how you made me
Expressing confusion and self-reflection on how the person was tolerated or accepted in the past.
Put up with this, I'll never forget
Acknowledging that the speaker won't forget the endurance and patience shown by the other person.
You always made things worse
Attributing negative impact to the other person, claiming they always made things worse.
When you tried to use your words
Highlighting ineffective communication attempts by the other person.
How's your mama, I saw her today, she misses the way we made drama
Mentioning interaction with the other person's mother and reminiscing about past drama.
And the way we would fight, when nothing was right
Recalling conflicts and fights in the past relationship.
Whatever you would say
Implying that whatever the other person said had a persuasive effect on the speaker.
Would always make me stay
Stating that the other person's words had the power to make the speaker stay.
I'm trying hard to forget about it, cause I know it hurts
Expressing an effort to move on and forget the past because of the pain it caused.
And you're trying not to forget about me, when I'm at my worst
Suggesting that the other person is also struggling to forget the speaker during difficult times.
Maybe now i should run away cause, you're still on my back
Contemplating running away to escape the persistent presence of the other person.
But when all of this is over,
Leaving an open-ended statement without a clear resolution.
I think that you, think I want you back
Believing that the other person thinks the speaker wants them back after everything is settled.
Do you miss me, don't know if I miss you, I still wanna kiss you
Expressing uncertainty about missing the other person but still desiring physical intimacy.
But baby, don't know if I'm wrong, do you feel alone
Questioning the correctness of feelings and pondering if the other person feels lonely.
Cause every time you call
Observing that the other person claims to have everything together when calling.
You swear you've got it all
Challenging the sincerity of the other person's assurances.
I'm not sorry, if I'd have treated you bad, you would've been glad that it's over
Asserting that not apologizing for mistreatment because the other person would be happier without them.
Instead you're at home, nowhere to go
Describing the other person's current state as being at home with no direction.
And you wish that I'd pick up
Suggesting a desire for the other person to reach out and make contact.
We're not the poster kids for love.
Rejecting the idea that their relationship represents an idealized version of love.
I'm trying hard to forget about it, cause I know it hurts
Reiterating the effort to forget the past and the associated pain.
And you're trying not to forget about me, when I'm at my worst
Acknowledging the other person's struggle to forget the speaker during challenging times.
Maybe now i should run away cause, you're still on my back
Repeating the consideration of running away to escape the lingering presence of the other person.
But when all of this is over,
Leaving an open-ended statement without a clear resolution (repeated).
I think that you, think I want you back
Repeating the belief that the other person thinks the speaker wants them back after everything is settled.
I think that you, think I want you back
Reiterating the belief that the other person thinks the speaker wants them back (repeated).
I think that you, think I want you back
Repeating the belief that the other person thinks the speaker wants them back (repeated).
