Come Back
J.A.E. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've never felt this way before
And I'm sorry that I wasn't there more
I'm just trying to settle the score
Can't say I didn't fucking try
It's not like I fucking lied
I loved all of you, didn't I
I'm sorry
Forgive me
I'm sorry
Forgive me
A depressed me
Sad and alone, why didn't you trust me
An upset me
Crazy irrational, don't fucking let me
Leave
Be with me, stay with me, love with me, hate with me
I've never felt this way before
And I'm sorry that I wasn't there more
I'm just trying to settle the score
Can't say I didn't fucking try
It's not like I fucking lied
I loved all of you, didn't I
I'm sorry
Forgive me
I'm sorry
Forgive me
I really, really didn't mean to hurt you
I just wanted to feel that love too
I just thought that we would be an item
I lost you and now life is no fun
I'm sorry
Forgive me
I'm sorry
Forgive me
Just another fucking reason
To call myself a cynic
I've lost all sense of reason
And my mind just isn't in it
And you always want or need something
It's like everything you're seeing, is yours
I expected you to say nothing
You kept believing, you sure are pure
I've never felt this way before
And I'm sorry that I wasn't there more
I'm just trying to settle the score
Can't say I didn't fucking try
It's not like I fucking lied
I loved all of you, didn't I
I'm sorry
Forgive me
I'm sorry
Forgive me




I'm sorry
Please, come back
