Don’t Come Crawling Back

Don’t come crawling back to me.

(I don’t hear you anymore

Verse 1

What do you feel now that I’m gone?

Wasn’t that your plan all along?

You said you needed room to breathe,

Now you’re suffocating on the air you set free.

You let me walk without a fight,

Now you’re blowing up my phone at night.

Funny how you changed your mind

When you’re the one who crossed that line.

Pre-Chorus

Oh, you said I’d come running, running back —

But I don’t run in circles like that.

(Na-na-na, not like that, na-na-na)

You burned the bridge, watched it fall —

(Now you’re the one who wants it all.)

Chorus

Don’t come crawling back to me.

(I don’t hear you anymore.)

All your fake apologies

(Disappear — they mean nothing at all.)

(Nothing at all.)

You wanted me gone, so I moved —

(I moved on.)

So don’t come crawling back to me.

(Na-na-na.)

Don’t come crawling back to me.

(Back to me.)

I don’t need you — can’t you see?

Verse

You thought I’d break without your love,

Like I wasn’t strong enough.

But every tear you made me cry

Turned into fuel for my goodbye.

You swore that I was everything,

Now I’m just a “what could’ve been.”

Guess it hurts to lose control

When I finally let you go.

(Bye.)

Pre-Chorus

You said to never let you go —

Guess you never really know

What you’ve got until

(Until it’s dust)

And there’s no more “us.”

(No — there’s no more us.)

Chorus

Don’t come crawling back to me.

(I don’t hear you anymore.)

All your fake apologies

(Disappear — they mean nothing at all.)

(Nothing at all.)

You wanted me gone, so I moved —

(I moved on.)

So don’t come crawling back to me.

(Na-na-na.)

Don’t come crawling back to me.

(Back to me.)

I don’t need you — can’t you see?

Bridge (lower, intense — then build)

So now you’re standing at my door,

But I won’t let you in.

This was your only wish —

Yeah, you chose to let me go.

Now I’m done, I’m gone, I’m moving on.

Now I’m the one —

(Never gonna let you in.)

Now I’m the one —

Now I’m the one who leaves.

Final Chorus (bigger, layered)

Don’t come crawling back to me.

(I don’t hear you anymore.)

All your fake apologies

(Disappear — they mean nothing at all.)

(Nothing at all.)

(Na-na-na.)

It was you who wanted me gone,

So I moved on.

(I moved on.)

So don’t come crawling back now —

(Na-na-na.)

Don’t come crawling back now.

(Don’t come back now.)

I don’t need you — can’t you see?

Don’t come crawling back to me.

I don’t need you — can’t you see?
