Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lessons learned, and bridges burned to the ground
And it's too late now to put out the fire tables turned
And I'm the one who's burning now well I'm doing all right
Till I close my eyes and then I see your face and it's no surprise

Just like that I'm crawling back to you
Just like you said I would yeah
Swallow my pride now I'm crawling back to you
I'm out of my head can't wait any longer
I'm down on my knees I thought I was stronger
Just like that just like you said I'd do
I'm crawling back to you

Time can heal, but the scars only hide the way you feel
And it's hard to forget how I left you hanging
On by a thread, everything I said
I regret it yeah I was doin' all right
Thought I could make it then I see your face and
It's hard to fake it

And just like that I'm crawling back to you
Just like you said I would yeah
Swallow my pride I'm crawling back to you
I'm out of my head can't wait any longer
I'm down on my knees I thought I was stronger
Just like that like you said I'd do
Yeah I'm crawling back to you

You could find a way to forgive everything I know you would
And I would take it all back if only I knew that I could.
Lessons learned and bridges burned to the ground
And it's to late now to put out the fire.

And just like that I'm crawling back to you
Just like you said I would yeah
Swallow my pride I'm crawling back to you

I'm down on my knees I thought I was stronger
Just like that just like you said I'd do

Overall Meaning

The song Crawling Back To You by Daughtry(도트리) is a heartfelt ballad about a person who comes to a realization that they still have strong feelings for their ex-lover. The lyrics describe the pain and regret of a failed relationship that has left the singer with scars. The bridges between them have been burned, and they have learned some tough lessons. Despite that, the urge to return back to their ex-lover is strong, and they feel like they cannot escape their emotions.


The chorus "Just like that I'm crawling back to you, Just like you said I would, Swallow my pride now I'm crawling back to you" emphasizes the singer's struggle to come to terms with their feelings. They feel weak and out of control of their emotions, almost as though they are powerless to resist the urge to return to their ex-lover. The lines "I thought I was stronger, just like that, like you said I'd do, I'm crawling back to you" reaffirm this, suggesting that the singer feels like they have failed to move on from the past and, in doing so, regain their strength.


The song is an excellent expression of the familiar phenomenon of heartbreak and the aftermath of a broken relationship. It shows how, after everything that has happened, the urge to go back can be insatiable, and the person can feel a total lack of control over their emotions.

Crawling Back To You"

Lessons learned, bridges burned to the ground,
And it's too late now to put out the fire,
Tables turned, and I'm the one who's burning now,
Well I'm doing alright,
'Til I close my eyes
And then I see your face,
And it's no surprise.

[Chorus:]
Just like that I'm crawling back to you,
Just like you said I would yeah,
I swallow my pride,
Now I'm crawling back to you,
I'm out of my head,
Can't wait any longer,
Down on my knees, I thought I was stronger,
Just like that, like you said I'd do,
I'm crawling back to you.

Time can heal, but the scars only hide the way you feel,
And it's hard to forget how I left you hanging
On by a thread, when everything is said, I will regret it, yeah,
I was doin' alright, thought I could make it,
Then I see your face and it's hard to fake it.

[Chorus:]
Just like that I'm crawling back to you,
Just like you said I would yeah,
I swallow my pride,

Down on my knees, I thought I was stronger,
Just like that, like you said I'd do,
I'm crawling back to you.

If you could find a way, to forgive everything, I know you would.
And I would take it all back, give if only I knew that I could.

Lessons learned, bridges burned to the ground.
And it's too late now, to put out the fire.

Just like you said I would yeah,
I swallow my pride,
Now I'm crawling back to you,
I'm out of my head,

still crawling back here in 2020! Absolutely love this man's voice!

@flamenskall2016

Apparently fox does too
They helped start his career
And they help again to shine the spot light back on him in 2016 with passion
And then they updated it last year with the masked singer
