Back To Me
Grace Potter Lyrics

Here we are again
Starting a cycle of fighting and apologies

Hanging by a thread
Relationship is on the edge of destruction

The truth is almost gone
Lack of honesty and trust

There's no more love to save
Relationship is beyond repair

You always got your way
One-sided relationship

But I'm tired of holding on
Tired of putting all the effort into the relationship

All your expectations fall on me
Feeling overwhelmed by the pressure put on by partner

They're so heavy, baby
The expectations are too much to handle

Maybe I'm just too close, too close to see
Unable to see the relationship for what it truly is

That I really don't know what you need (don't know what you need)
Uncertainty about what partner wants and needs

But I really don't think that it's me (don't think that it's me)
Realizes that they are not the one for partner

And you never can tell where love leads (tell where love's gonna lead)
Uncertainty about where love will take them

But it don't lead back to me (don't lead back to me)
The relationship is not meant to be

Said it don't lead back to me (don't lead back to me)
Reinforcing that the relationship is not meant to be

You said to give you space and time
Partner requested time away from the relationship

But was it all a lie?
Doubts partner's intentions

Just a way to hold me down
Partner is trying to manipulate the situation

Now the water's flooding in
Feeling overwhelmed and drowning in the problems

And you come back again
Partner returns after leaving

But can't you see I'm drowning?
Pleading for partner to see distress

Gotta let it go (yes I do)
Realizes that the relationship needs to be let go

Gotta leave it be (oh, oh)
Shouldn't try to hold onto something that isn't working

Giving up the ghost, (giving up)
Letting go of the relationship

Can you set me free, (come on baby)
Request for partner to let go and move on

If you're lookin' for love, baby (don't lead back to me)
Expressing that the partner should look elsewhere for love

You better not look my way (don't lead back to me)
They are not the one for partner

Cause it don't lead back to me
The relationship is not meant to be

No it ain't me, babe
Affirmation that they are not the right fit

Do what you need to do
Giving partner the freedom to do what they want

But I can tell you for sure
Certain about the outcome

That it don't lead back
Relationship has no future

No, no it don't lead back to me
Emphasizing that the relationship is over

I, I paid my dues
I put in the time and effort in the relationship

Gave you all my love
Devoted themselves to the relationship

And now I'm through, baby
Realizing that the relationship is over

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Expressing sadness and finality
