Back That Way

I'm sorry if what I am isn't good enough
But I can't say I don't care,
There's something about you;
I just need you there.

I love you more than anything,
I really wish you'd understand,
You had my whole world,
In the palm of your hand.

Your smile gave me butterflies,
Your laugh made me laugh,
Our memories were the best,
I miss you, my other half.

I thought I was over you,
But I was so wrong,
Maybe I was denying,
That I needed you all along.

I wish you'd at least listen to me,
And try to be my friend,
But you're erasing me,
And now my heart can't mend.

You built up my dreams,
And then threw them on the ground,
My life was perfect with you,
Then you turned it all around.

It's said not to change yourself,
You'll be loved the way you are,
But I can't help but want to,
You were my shining star.

You showed me how to be myself,
Why'd you change your mind?
And decide you didn't like that
And you wanted to leave it behind.

Why'd you say you loved me,
Then throw it in my face?
And tell me I'm perfect,
Then tell me I'm a disgrace.

You told me you'd be there,
If I ever was afraid,
Well I'm scared now,
Of losing the memories we made.

Those pictures aren't good enough,
What I want is you,
I want you told hold me close,
And say you love me too.

I want you to wipe my tears,
And say what you used to say,
I miss you and what used to be,
I want it back that way.
