"Back Words" lyrics

That Jack bottle'd still be sitting intact on the shelf
There wouldn't be seventeen new missed calls on your cell
I'd be yours, you'd be mine
We'd be fine, if only time moved backwards, backwards

Why, baby, why?
Why can't I unsay the way I went and said goodbye, baby, bye?
I'd take 'em all back, you were so damn good
I should have bit my tongue and held you in my arms
Now it's said and done, no matter how hard I try, baby, try, baby I
I can't take back words

Let the grass grow back in the tracks you left in the yard
I'd be letting down, instead of putting up my guard, yes, I would
And if yesterday was tomorrow
I'd turn "go to hell" into "hell don't go", yeah

Why, baby, why?
Why can't I unsay the way I went and said goodbye, baby, bye?
I'd take 'em all back, you were so damn good
I should have bit my tongue and held you in my arms
Now it's said and done, no matter how hard I try, baby, try, baby I
I can't take back the words

I didn't mean, words I never should have spoke
Girl, what's killing me, I should have pulled you close
Instead of letting go

Why, baby, why?

Why, baby, why?
Why can't I unsay the way I went and said goodbye, baby, bye?
I'd take 'em all back, you were so damn good
I should have bit my tongue and held you in my arms
Now it's said and done, no matter how hard I try, baby, try, baby I
I can't take back words

No, I can't
I can't take back words
