"Backwards" lyrics

I can't be no use to you if I can't be good for myself
I can't make it better for anybody else

Maybe it's our light's gone out
Turned off in an empty house
Nothing's gonna change until I do

And I can't be no use to you if I can't make this on my own
I can't make it better if I can't face this all alone
And it would be so easy to stay easy, and that's what I fear
I'd never want to look back and regret it all by staying here, and

Maybe it's our light's gone out
Turned off in an empty house
Back there's not a place that I can be

On my own
So far from home
From where we've been
I'm scared, and yet I'm not alone
I know that you are here with me
Inside my heart, you'll always be
You're all I've ever known

I'm just afraid of slipping backwards
Back there's not a place that I can be
All that I am is slowly turning
And now you're not in front of me

Baby, it's the last thing that I'd ever want to do
Is go ahead and leave you now
Maybe it's the moment that you find a way to run
'Cause, baby, I can't turn around

Maybe it's our light's gone out
Turned off in an empty house
Back there's not a place that I can be
