"Back Then" lyrics

"Back Then"

I've been swimming through these thoughts
I've been drowning in mistakes
Swerving lane to lane
Promised that I would change
Crashing into your heart
I tore everything apart
Until I was too far gone
I couldn't see when I was wrong
Only giving fake love
Taking shots to make up

Mistaking love with dumb lust
I was barely sleeping
Blacked out on the weekend
I just couldn't see us

Cause that was back then
I don't give a fuck about what I said
Wanted me to change and let you in
All I had was empty promises
But that was back then
But that was back then
You always left me running out of breath
I ain't gonna run back to your bed
Pulling at my strings leaving me possessed
But that was back then
But that was back then

Then no, I've been sinking
So low I've been dreaming about
Trying to find a way out
Why can't you see?
My headlights fade at the sight of you
I can't slow down, I just crash right through
I do it all for the rush
But now I feel like I'm stuck
She said she had enough now

I've been, mistaking love with dumb lust
These drugs, got me losing sleep and
I still, black out on the weekend
I just couldn't see us

Cause that was back then
I don't give a fuck about what I said
Wanted me to change and let you in
All I had was empty promises
But that was back then
But that was back then
You always left me running out of breath
I ain't gonna run back to your bed
Pulling at my strings leaving me possessed
But that was back then
But that was back then

When we use to hide who we were
Too scared to think about the future
Folding under constant pressure
I'm sorry that I didn't care
Don't regret the time that we had
Knew it had to come to an end
Now you're gone feel indifferent
I'm sorry, but I don't care
