You Can't Expect Me Back

You're always breakin' something
Breakin' yourself or breakin' me
You're always on the verge of meltdown
Spontaneously
My impulse was to fix ya
I thought I'd finally be the one
My patience with your tricks is done gone
And I know when to run

Then you repent and see the error in your ways
Messages you sent that I've been starin' at for days

You can't expect me back
You can't expect me back
Not again babe, not again
I'm switchin' to a smoother track
You really can't expect me back

I thought you'd come around
Back to the way we used to be
I thought our common ground might lift you
Up and help you see
You got some spiral staircase
You take it two steps at a time
But that's thin air up there, babe
And I ain't gonna make the climb

So now you're flyin' off each chance you get to go
You're barely tryin' and I think it's time you know

You can't expect me back
You can't expect me back
Not again babe, not again
I'm switchin' to a smoother track
You really can't expect me back

Our home is a house of cards
You're roaming the boulevard
Time's passed, at long last
You're too fast, and I'm miscast

I stuck it out cuz I was with you from the start
Nuthin but doubt now and it's tearin' at my heart

You can't expect me back
You can't expect me back
Not again babe, not again
I'm switchin' to a smoother track
You really can't expect me back

I'm switchin' to a smoother track
You really can't expect me back
I'm movin' to a smoother track
So really don't expect me back
