"Back When You Loved Me" lyrics

Was there a final straw
One moment that you knew
Something was different and I
No longer did it for you
Or did your feelings
Die out slowly?

I've worked so hard for us
Committed from the start
We should have grown together
But I'm here falling apart
If you had doubts you
Could have told me

I'm so tired

I'm giving up
I can't take it anymore
If you weren't planning on forever
Tell me what was this all for?

I am so bitterly nostalgic
For the way it used to be
When I thought getting you
Meant keeping you
But I was just naive
Back when you loved me
Back when you loved me

I fixate on the past
Dissect my every move
Trying to justify them
But what do I need to prove?
One misstep shouldn't send you running

You said "don't change too much
But don't just stay the same"
So I picked my best color
And showed you one million shades
Tell me what more you could have wanted

I'm so sad

I'm giving up
I can't take it anymore
If you weren't planning on forever
Tell me what was this all for?

I am so bitterly nostalgic
For the way it used to be
When I thought getting you
Meant keeping you
But I was just naive
Back when you loved me
Back when you loved me

I might not be the youngest
I've never been the best
But I promised a long time ago
I wasn't going to rest until

I finally was perfect
At least perfect for you
And if you say that isn't good enough
What am I supposed to do?

I'm giving up
I can't take it anymore
If you weren't planning on forever
Tell me what was this all for?

I am so bitterly nostalgic
For the way it used to be
When I thought getting you
Meant keeping you
But I was just naive
Back when you loved me
Back when you loved me
Back when you loved me
Back when you loved me

I act like I'm unbothered
When really I'm all talk
'Cause the truth is these are empty threats
I'm never going to stop

Trying to win back your affection
And be part your life
So I'll be right here where you left me
Like I have been this whole time
