[Verse 1]
I keep my jacket by the door
Like you might come back for more
Cup still cold on the sill
I said I moved on, but I still
Check my phone for your name
Pretend I don't feel the same
Everybody says I'm fine
But I know where I lose my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
If you look, I look away
If you call, I make you stay
I act like I don't care
Then I wait right there
[Chorus]
Want me back, want me back
Say it like you mean that
Hold me close, hold me close
I been empty, you know that
Want me back, want me back
I can feel my heart ask
Say my name, say my name
I just wanna be wanted back
[Verse 2]
I dress up for a crowd
Still hear silence way too loud
Laugh real big, look real calm
Hide the bruise under my palm
Saw your trace on my screen
Little ghost in my machine
I don't need much, just proof
That I was once the one for you
[Pre-Chorus]
If you look, I look away
If you call, I make you stay
I act like I don't care
Then I wait right there
[Chorus]
Want me back, want me back
Say it like you mean that
Hold me close, hold me close
I been empty, you know that
Want me back, want me back
I can feel my heart ask
Say my name, say my name
I just wanna be wanted back
[Bridge]
Not a prize, not a game
Still I ache for your flame
I can take the truth if it's real
Just don't leave me here to feel
Wanted, wanted
Yeah, I need that
Wanted, wanted
Say it, I need that
[Final Chorus]
Want me back, want me back
Say it like you mean that
Hold me close, hold me close
I been empty, you know that
Want me back, want me back
I can feel my heart ask
Say my name, say my name
I just wanna be wanted back
