Текст песни Backfired - Alec King

We can't make our own decisions
Things were better before we were listening to all of
To all of our single friends' advice
They don't know what they're talking about half of the time
But everything they said to do
Yeah, it never worked on you

This a song I wrote to get over you
Oh, God, did that backfire?
I was on a path to get over you
Now I'm sliding off like I'm mad tired
Thought of you as an ex
Now I'm even more depressed
Can we talk for a minute
For a minute without stress?
Might hurt a little later
But that minute feels like sex
I've been in an empty room
Since the minute that you left

You say you always down
That's how I'm feeling right now
I should've started moving on
Right when you started moving out
We bought that bed together
So I'm sleeping on the couch
The type of pain
Not a lot of people know about
I'm hurting, maybe I'm hurting
Or maybe focusing on broken pieces like a surgeon
Cause other pieces in my life seem to be working
My closest people love me
While I'm always focused on the furthest person
I don't know, I don't know
Damn
I don't know

This a song I wrote to get over you
Oh, God, did that backfire?
I was on a path to get over you
Now I'm sliding off like I'm mad tired
Thought of you as an ex
Now I'm even more depressed
Can we talk for a minute
For a minute without stress?
Might hurt a little later
But that minute feels like sex
I've been in an empty room
Since the minute that you left

I know you don't mean to mislead me, mistreat me
But you don't seem too torn, is this easy?
All I do is loop guitar and write more sad songs
Listen, those strings cut deep, I'm still bleeding
I'm thinking if
I call you it would help
But I'm scared
You might be with someone else
I don't think the hardest drug
Could feel how you felt
Looking at you
Makes me wanna blame it on myself
What I do to get below your belt? Anything
The alternate reality
Been tearing up my dreams
Only time that we in touch
Is when you make my phone ring
The only way that we in love is
If the city changes its name to it
Then we be in love, California
And loving California is like, the tie that you from Florida
We ain't never getting back together
You say it like it's definite
I say it like it's sorta

This a song I wrote to get over you
Oh, God, did that backfire?
I was on a path to get over you
Now I'm sliding off like I'm mad tired
Thought of you as an ex
Now I'm even more depressed
Can we talk for a minute
For a minute without stress?
Might hurt a little later
But that minute feels like sex
I've been in an empty room
Since the minute that you left
