Back To You
Joy And The Boy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everytime you go, you look way hotter than before
You won't answer the text I sent through
Cause bae without you, I'm alone
But I don't got time to be on hold
Yea, I left roses on your doorstep
Hoping you would realize that I need you again
And bae you know I'm not the type to forfeit
I can only do so much
Yea I tried everything to get you back
But now I feel like I've been wasting my time
I can only do so much
Thought you'd take it just as hard as me
But not gon' lie it hurt you made up your mind
It's gon take way more than telling you that I've changed
I went and fixed the flaws that you said that I had
Bae I even made a song just to plead my case
But you know
I can only do so much
You said I had too much pride
Shit, I guess you probably right bae
I make everything about me
But I promise baby, not this time
Cause I don't need to come in first place
I love you in the worst ways
I took a step back and respected your space and time
Cause I know that's the way that you like it
And even after everything
I'm bound to get you on my side
Still gotta make up your mind
I can only do so much
Yea I tried everything to get you back
But now I feel like I've been wasting my time
I can only do so much
Thought you'd take it just as hard as me
But not gon' lie it hurt you made up your mind
It's gon take way more than telling you that I've changed
I went and fixed the flaws that you said that I had
Bae I even made a song just to plead my case
But you know
I can only do so much
Mm yea, Baby I can only do so much
I can only do
I can only do so much
Yea I tried everything to get you back
But now I feel like I've been wasting my time
I can only do so much
Thought you'd take it just as hard as me
But not gon' lie it hurt you made up your mind
It's gon take way more than telling you that I've changed
I went and fixed the flaws that you said that I had
Bae I even made a song just to plead my case
But you know
I can only do so much

Dear parents, just because your child is smiling at their phone, doesn't mean they have a boyfriend or girlfriend, they are just watching this masterpiece.

the fact that Luffy is bouncing around and laughing somehow gives me goosebumps, Kaido trying his hardest to fight him and here he is laughing
@formerctgovernordannelmall1452
Kind of the terror of Nika/Joyboy/Luffy when you get down to it. They’re the rubber men who keep getting up and won’t stop laughing as they endlessly hurl themselves at you
@JackaboiTV
@Former CT Governor Dannel Malloy That kinda reminds me of Majin Buu.
