Returning

I don't know why I left
Guess I thought you would follow
Forgot you were hollow
And hard as I tried
You felt no regret
But I learned my lesson
So I loosened my grasp
But there's one thing I had to ask I
I just forgot the question
But love was the answer
That sick, sweet spread of the cancer
And life, well she is a dancer
That spins around and twirls until it ends
And it all depends
On the places we go
And the people we leave behind
So we can grow

But I came back for you
I came back for you
So don't you tell me that I didn't
It's the one thing that I swore I'd do
But once I did, it all felt different
And I know you didn't mean to hurt me
But here I am tired, alone, and thirsty
For what we once had
I won't think about that
'Cause thinking about it
Only makes me want it back

Oh, life is a lie
And love is the reason
For you to believe it
'Cause I guarantee
It won't be there once you die
'Cause dying's for dreamers
That believe in heaven
And resurrection
And if not, I Guess
Well I guess that I
I am a Phoenix
That dove back into the flames
And once home, lost my way
Got lost in the place
In the place where I came

I came back for you
I came back for you
So don't you tell me that I didn't
It's the one thing that I swore I'd do
But once I did, it all felt different
And I know you didn't mean to hurt me
But here I am tired, alone, and thirsty
For what we once had
I won't think about that
'Cause thinking about it
Only makes me want it

Back
Want it back
I want you back, back, back
Back, back, back
I came back
For you
I came back, I came back
I came back, I came back
For you
