Don't Want It Back
Sabrina Carpenter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are the voice inside my mind
Something so real is hard to find
I know, I know (I know, I know)
I know, I know (I know, I know)
I'll hold you tight, remove the air
No space between, I want you here
I know, I know (I know, I know)
Baby, you're home

Headfirst, I dive
Won't wait for time
We're livin' for tonight

You give me a reason to feel what I feel
When everything is under attack
You got my heart, I don't want it back
You might be the answer to all of my fears
When everything is under attack
You got my heart, I don't want it back
(Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh)
You got my heart, I don't want it back

This moment can't be washed away
A part of you's a part of me
I know, I know (I know, I know)
I know, I know (I know, I know)
This love we have will never end
We're circles, we begin again
I know, I know
Baby, I'm home

Headfirst, I dive
Won't wait for time, no
We're livin' for tonight

You give me a reason (ooh, no) to feel what I feel (no, no)
When everything is under attack
You got my heart, I don't want it back
You might be the answer to all of my fears (no, no)
When everything is under attack
You got my heart, I don't want it back
(Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh)
You got my heart, I don't want it back

You give me a reason (huh)
You give me a feeling (uh-huh-a)
But all of the things you've given to me
You've given to me, baby

You give me a reason to (no, no) feel what I feel
When everything is under attack (oh, no)
You got my heart, I don't want it back
You might be the answer (no, no) to all of my fears (oh!)
When everything is under attack
You got my heart, I don't want it back
(Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh) Baby
You got my heart, I don't want it back




(No, no, no, no, no, no)
You got my heart, I don't want it back

Overall Meaning

In the first verse, Sabrina Carpenter is talking about a very intimate bond that she shares with someone. She sings that this person is the voice inside her mind which indicates that she thinks about this person all the time. She goes on to sing about the depth of their connection, which is described as something that is hard to find. The chorus is where Carpenter talks about the role of this person in her life; she sings that no matter how difficult things get or how much fear she experiences, she knows that this person has her heart, and she does not want it back. The second verse builds on this concept and talks about their love being something that will never end, and they are always going back to each other; therefore, Carpenter feels at home with this person. The significance of this song lies in its representation of the idea of surrender. Carpenter has handed over her heart and trust to this person fully.

I listened to this song "On Purpose"
And I would press the replay button if I had "Thumbs"
And I'll keep my "Eyes wide Open" for the next song/album
My heart will be burning like "Smoke and Fire"
I'm lost in a beautiful song "Space"
But idk if it's just a "Mirage"
I'll just "Run and Hide" from it
Because "All We Have Is Love"
And love "Feels Like Loneliness" without Sabrina's music
We'll be fading into the "Shadows" when her career is over
I have "No Words" to explain how much I love Sabrina
Life, ''Don't Want It Back'' without her music
She will ''Take On the World'' and show us her talent and skill
She will show us her " Wildside'' to all of us
''We'll Be The Stars'' watching her become known to everyone
We'll give her "Attention"
She is going to "'Stand Out''
I mean we ''Can't Blame a Girl for Trying''



@nainamaru7831
