Don't Want You Back

from Loose Ends by Katie Pederson

lyrics

Do you sing to her
Like you used to sing to me
I bet your eyes don’t leave her’s when she speaks
And I meant it when I said
That I just want you to be happy
But oh how I wonder, when you are with her
Are you ever thinking of me

I can’t stay in this small town
With it’s big city people
I’ve been thinking out loud
But lately my thoughts and I are feeble
I’ve been trying to move on
But you’re just one problem among several others
And I don’t mean to hold on
But you were the only one who could put me back together

Why did I let you go?
Took oh so long to see
That this is a lonely road
Without you here beside me
Why did I let you go
If only I had seen
Now it’s too late I know
So I’ll repeat til I believe

Don’t want you back.

There’s a memory in my mind framed
Of us driving together
Singing “Stop This Train” over your little red car’s speakers

Why can I not let go
Of seemingly meaningless moments
They add up so fast though
All at once crashing over when I least expect it

Why did I let you go?
Took oh so long to see
That this is a lonely road
Without you here beside me
Why did I let you go
If only I had seen
Now it’s too late I know
So I’ll repeat til I believe

Don't want you back.
