I take the backroads on my way home
I kill the radio and ride in silence
I really don't know what I'm doin' with my life
I call my best friend, she says, "I'm over this."
"It's 4 AM and you should not be drivin'"
"I've really gotta go, look what's becomin' of your life."
Soon, you wake up sorry
Cursin' at the morning
No, don't call me back
Let's leave it at that
I said, one time is too many, girl
I fucked up plenty
But I need you back
I need you bad
She said, "I can't hold on."
"To somethin' that isn't there for me to hold on to."
It's all my fault
For thinkin' I could be the one who changes you
'Cause after all the things we've been through
I keep runnin' back to rescue
The one I lost
I can't hold on
I'm a counterfeit, I'm not okay with it
Puttin' on a show and losin' touch
Back to the basics, I've gotta figure out my life
I push and pull until the rule was exposed
Remindin' me of who I was long ago
How will I ever make this right?
So if, I say I'm sorry
Can you ignore the warnings?
Will you, take me back?
I need you back
She said, "I can't hold on."
"To somethin' that isn't there for me to hold on to."
It's all my fault
For thinkin' I could be the one who changes you
'Cause after all the things we've been through
I keep runnin' back to rescue
The one I lost
I fought so hard to keep your near
Till I finally realize
You reopened the scars that disappeared
Leavin' me empty inside
So you can say you're sorry
Tell me not to worry, but
We can't get it back
The love that we had
I can't hold on
To somethin' that isn't there for me to hold on to
It's all my fault
For thinkin' I could be the one who changes you
After everything we've been through
I keep runnin' back to rescue
The one I lost
I can't hold on
