Haywood Backbeat Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Pulled up on side of my car
Turned off the lights and I fixed my lips
I told the mirror I was good
My hands were shaking every step that I got
Closer to the edge of reason
And I couldn't really hear my brain tellin' me
"What you doin' walkin' in like that?"
"You know that this is gonna end real bad"

[Pre-Chorus]
You know it, you know it, you know it, but you won't let me go
But you won't let me go
So why you do me like that?
[Chorus]
Don't wanna dance in your backbeat
Just wanna land on my two feet
So what? It's just another heartbreak
So why you do me, why you do me, why you do me like that?
Now I'm a real good pretender
'Cause every day, I remember
That it was just another heartbreak
So why you do me, why you do me, why you do me like that?

[Verse 2]
I get alone in my head
Conversations while I'm waitin' to get some clarity too
Daily confessions being read
Said I'm repeating 'til you fade to black
There's nothing here that I can't handle
And every day, I feel more clear, then I
Then I see you walkin' in like that
And in a second, I go ten steps back

[Pre-Chorus]
Tonight, oh
You know it, you know it, you know it, but you won't let me go
But you won't let me go
So why you do me like that?
[Chorus] Don't wanna dance in your backbeat
Just wanna land on my two feet
So what? It's just another heartbreak
So why you do me, why you do me, why you do me like that?
Now I'm a real good pretender
'Cause every day, I remember
That it was just another heartbreak
So why you do me, why you do me, why you do me like that?

[Bridge]
Why you do me like?
It's just another day in another life
Why you do me like?
Quit blowing up my life, walk away just fine
I'm living every famous movie line
I'm tryna be a big girl, but
Truth's a bitter pill if you don't wanna believe it

[Chorus]
Don't wanna dance in your backbeat
Just wanna land on my two feet
So what? It's just another heartbreak
So why you do me, why you do me, why you do me like that?
Now I'm a real good pretender
'Cause every day, I remember
That it was just another heartbreak
So why you do me, why you do me, why you do me like that?
[Outro]
Just another day in another damn life
Don't leave, don't leave, don't leave
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
Don't leave, don't leave, don't leave
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it like that
Don't leave, don't leave, don't leave
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
Don't leave, don't leave, don't leave
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it like that
