Backbeat (Reimagined)

Pulled up on side of my car

Turned off the lights and I fixed my lips

I told the mirror I was good

My hands were shaking every step that I got

Closer to the edge of region

And I couldn't really hear my brain tellin' me

"What you doin' walkin' in like that?"

"You know that this is gonna end real bad"

Ohh, ohh-ohh, ohh-ohh

You know it, you know it, you know it, but you won't let me go

But you won't let me go

So why you do me like that?

Don't wanna dance in your backbeat

Just wanna lie down my two feet

So what? It's just another heartbreak

So why you do me, why you do me, why you do me like that?

Now I'm a real good pretender

'Cause every day, I remember

That it was just another heartbreak

So why you do me, why you do me, why you do me like that?

I get alone in my head

Conversations while I'm waitin' to get some clarity too

Daily confessions being read

Said I'm repeating 'til you fade to black

There's nothing here that I can't handle

And every day, I feel more clear, then I

Then I see you walkin' in like that

And in a second, I go ten steps back

Tonight, ohh-ohh-ohh, ohh-ohh-ohh

You know it, you know it, you know it, but you won't let me go

But you won't let me go

So why you do me like that?

Don't wanna dance in your backbeat

Just wanna lie down my two feet

So what? It's just another heartbreak

So why you do me, why you do me, why you do me like that?

Now I'm a real good pretender

'Cause every day, I remember

That it was just another heartbreak

So why you do me, why you do me, why you do me like that?

Just another day in another damn life

So why you do me, why you do me, why you do me like that?

Just another day in another damn life

Don't leave, don't leave, don't leave

I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it

Don't leave, don't leave, don't leave

I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it like that

Don't leave, don't leave, don't leave

I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it

Don't leave, don't leave, don't leave

I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it like that
