Backbeat (Reimagined) Songtext
von Haywood

Pulled up on side of my car
Turned off the lights and I fixed my lips
I told the mirror I was good
My hands were shaking every step that I got
Closer to the edge of reason
And I couldn′t really hear my brain tellin' me
What you doin′ walkin' in like that?
You know that this is gonna end real bad, oh

You know it, you know it, you know it, but you won't let me go
But you won′t let me go
So why you do me like that?

Don′t wanna dance in your backbeat
Just wanna land on my two feet
So what? It's just another heartbreak
So why you do me, why you do me, why you do me like that?
Now I′m a real good pretender
'Cause every day, I remember
That it was just another heartbreak
So why you do me, why you do me, why you do me like that?


I get alone in my head
Conversations while I′m waitin' to get some clarity too
Daily confessions being read
Said I′m repeating 'til you fade to black
There's nothing here that I can′t handle
And every day, I feel more clear, then I
Then I see you walkin′ in like that
And in a second, I go ten steps back

Tonight, on and on, on and on
You know it, you know it, you know it, but you won't let me go
But you won′t let me go
So why you do me like that?

Don't wanna dance in your backbeat
Just wanna land on my two feet
So what? It′s just another heartbreak
So why you do me, why you do me, why you do me like that?
Now I'm a real good pretender
′Cause every day, I remember
That it was just another heartbreak
So why you do me, why you do me, why you do me like that?

Just another day in another damn life
So why you do me, why you do me, why you do me like that? Hmm
Just another day in another damn life


Don't leave, don't leave, don′t leave
I didn′t mean it, I didn't mean it
Don′t leave, don't leave, don′t leave
I didn't mean it, I didn′t mean it like that
Don't leave, don't leave, don′t leave
I didn′t mean it, I didn't mean it
Don′t leave, don't leave, don′t leave
I didn't mean it, I didn′t mean it like that
