I wanted more, and so I put the work in
You watched as I did all the heavy lifting
And I let get away with it
Tried the whole "No, I can fix him" bit
I just cracked under the weight of it
And all for what?

We don't talk as much as we used to
Every day a new excuse
And I'm not trying to blame you
I just want back all I gave you
We keep falling out of touch
I ran away, and you grew up
And I'm not trying to blame you
But I'm not the one to save you like I thought

I was hoping you'd read my mind
Come sweeping in at the perfect time
Say the right thing, mean what you say
Fill every gap, heal every ache
I tried to make a God out of my mistake

We don't talk as much as we used to
Every day a new excuse
And I'm not trying to blame you
I just want back all I gave you
We keep falling out of touch
You ran away, and I grew up
And I'm not trying to blame you
But I'm not the one to save you like I thought

I, I want it back, I want it back and
How can I move on if it never happened?
I, I want it back, I want it back and
How can I move on if it never happened?
I, I want it back, I want it back and (I want it)
How can I move on if it never happened? (I want it)
I, I want it back, I want it back and (I want it)
How can I move on if we never (I want it)

We don't talk as much as we used to (I want it)
Every day a new excuse (I want it)
And I'm not trying to blame you (I want it)
I just want back all I gave you
We keep falling out of touch
We ran away, and we grew up
And I'm not trying to blame you
But I'm not the one to save you like I thought

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I want it, want it back
I can't move on 'til it happens
I want it, want it back
I can't move on
