"Back 2 Good" lyrics

"Back 2 Good"

It's nothing, it's so normal
You just stand there I could say so much
But I don't go there 'cause I don't want to

And I was thinking if you were lonely
Maybe we could leave here and no one would know
At least not to the point that we would think so

And everyone here knows everyone here is thinking about somebody else
Well, it's best if we all keep this under our heads

And I couldn't tell
If anyone here was feeling the way I do
But I'm lonely now
And I don't know how
To get it back to good

This don't mean that, you own me
Well, this ain't no good
In fact it's phony as hell
Yeah, but things worked out just like you wanted to

If you see me out you don't know me
Try to turn your head
Try to give me some room
How to figure out just what I'm gonna do

'Cause everyone here hates everyone here for doing just like they do
And it's best if we all keep this quiet instead

And I couldn't tell
Why everyone here was doing me like they do
But I'm sorry now
And I don't know how
To get it back to good

Well, everyone here is wondering what it's like to be with somebody else
And everyone here's to blame
And everyone here gets caught up in the pleasure of the pain
Well, everyone here hides shades of shame
But looking inside we're the same, we're the same
And we're all grown now
Yeah, but we don't know how
To get it back to good

Well, everyone here knows everyone here is thinking 'bout somebody else
And it's best if we all keep this under our heads, in our heads

See, I couldn't tell 'bout
If anyone here was feeling the way I do
That's over now
And I don't know how
Guess it's over now
There's no getting back to good
