US5-I want you Back
US5 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We were more than just friends
I never thought it would end
I want you back
I used to look in your eyes
And I felt so alive
How could I be so blind
The day you got up and left
Without you, I'll go crazy
Oh girl, I just can't forget
I want you back (I want you back)
Girl I need a second chance
I want you back (I want you back)
Gotta make you understand
I want you back (I want you back)
Somehow I can't let you go
If there is a way
I want you back
I want you back in my life
I swear I'll never pretend
If only you'd understand
I want you back
I was a fool to believe
You would stay in my life
After all that I've done
Girl I just cannot forget
The day you got up and left
Without you, I'll go crazy
Oh girl, I just can't forget
I want you back (I want you back)
Girl I need a second chance
I want you back (I want you back)
Gotta make you understand
I want you back (I want you back)
Somehow I can't let you go
If there is a way
I want you back
Girl I can't forget
If only you'd come back in my life
You're all that I ever needed girl
I want you back (I want you back)
Girl I need a second chance
I want you back (I want you back)
Gotta make you understand
I want you back (I want you back)
Somehow I can't let you go
If there is a way
I want you back (I want you back)
Girl I need a second chance
I want you back (I want you back)
Gotta make you understand
I want you back (I want you back)
Somehow I can't let you go
If there is a way
I want you back
I want you back

The lyrics are poignant and relatable, making it a popular song amongst people who have lost someone special due to misunderstandings.
Line by Line Meaning
Remember back in the days
Reflecting on the past when things were good
We were more than just friends
Our relationship was stronger and more intimate than a friendship
I never thought it would end
I didn't anticipate our relationship coming to a close
I want you back
I deeply desire to be with you again
I used to look in your eyes
I used to feel a special connection when we made eye contact
And I felt so alive
Feeling energized and invigorated when we were together
How could I be so blind
I was ignorant of what I had until it was gone
Girl I just cannot forget
I'm unable to erase the memories of you from my mind
The day you got up and left
The exact moment when you chose to end our relationship
Without you, I'll go crazy
I would struggle to cope without your presence
I want you back (I want you back)
My desire to reconcile is very strong
Girl I need a second chance
I know I screwed up and need another opportunity to make it right
Gotta make you understand
I have to help you see that we belong together
Somehow I can't let you go
I'm still holding onto the hope that we can rekindle our relationship
If there is a way
I'm willing to do whatever it takes to be with you again
I want you back in my life
I want you to be a part of my present and future
I swear I'll never pretend
I promise to be authentic and genuine in our renewed relationship
If only you'd understand
I wish you could comprehend the depth of my feelings for you
I was a fool to believe
I made some bad decisions and trusted in things that were not true
You would stay in my life
I had an unrealistic expectation that you would always be around
After all that I've done
I realized that my past mistakes led to our break-up
Girl I can't forget
I simply cannot forget about you
You're all that I ever needed girl
You are the most important person in my life, and I need you
I want you back
I want to start over and rebuild our relationship
