I Just Want You Back

[Verse 1]
Met you on a Tuesday
Coffee stain on your white shirt
You laughed it off
Said “I’m a mess”
I said
“I’ve been worse”
We talked like old friends
About faith and all our scars
You said
“I think God has a plan”
I thought
“here you are”
[Chorus]
I thought you were the one He wrote my name beside
The only place my restless heart could hide
But I let you down
I pushed you out
Chased every shadow
Every doubt
Now all I do is pray for one more chance
For the girl I lost to my own hands
I don’t want someone new
I just want you back
[Verse 2]
You held me through my madness
Through late nights and late regrets
Still I kept the doors half-open
Let my fear invite the wreck
Said words I can’t unsay now
Broke trust I can’t re-make
You whispered
“I still love you
But I can’t survive this ache”
[Chorus]
I thought you were the one He wrote my name beside
The only place my restless heart could hide
But I let you down
I pushed you out
Chased every shadow
Every doubt
Now all I do is pray for one more chance
For the girl I lost to my own hands
I don’t want someone new
I just want you back
[Bridge]
If there’s a way back home to you
I’d walk it on my knees
Trade every reckless
Selfish move
For one more night of peace
I talk to God about you
Like you’re still in my life
Asking if He’d turn back time
Or soften your goodbye
(come back to me)
[Chorus]
I thought you were the one He wrote my name beside
The only place my restless heart could hide
And I let you down
I pushed you out
Drowned all we had in fear and doubt
Now every single prayer’s the same old line
“Lord
If she’s meant to be
Don’t change Your mind”
I don’t want someone new
I just want you back
I just want you back
