"Back To What You Know" lyrics

"Back To What You Know"

I don't know where to begin
Fighting a war I can't win
Fighting a memory
Of something that used to be
No matter how hard I fight
All of my strength and my might
Keeps defeating me
It just keeps defeating me

So what I'm trying to say
I know what's happening
Your body's here with me
But your heart and your mind is still with him

Go back to what you know
Go back to where you know your heart is
Girl, just be honest (this is impossible)
This is impossible
We'll never work cause you don't want it
Girl, you belong with him, so go back to what you know
'Cause this is impossible

Telling me things he used to
Do when he was with you
How he was o' so sweet
The way that he used to treat you
And since you just can't
Keep him out of your mind
It's obvious to me that I'm
Not where you wanna be
Baby you don't want me

So what I'm trying to say
I know what's happening
Your body's here with me
But your heart and your mind is still with him

Go back to what you know
Go back to where you know your heart is
Girl, just be honest
(This is impossible)
This is impossible
We'll never work 'cause you don't want it
Girl, you belong with him, so go back to what you know
Go back to what you know
'Cause this is impossible

And if that's really what you want
I will not stand in your way
You wanna be free
I will let you be
I'd rather you're happy
Than miserable with me
Back to what you know

Go back to what you know
Go back to where you know your heart is
Girl, just be honest (this is impossible)
This is impossible
We'll never work if you don't want it
Girl, you belong with him, so go back to what you know

Said ain't no way to make this last
You're stuck in the past
Pedal to the gas
And drive away
