"don't come back" lyrics

"don't come back"

Yeah, if you wanna go ahead and lie to me
Throw it all out now, that's fine with me
Oh, if I'm not enough for you, honestly
I hope you don't come back
When you see that I'm better off
When you're all broke down and you're missing us
When you finally figure out just what you lost
I hope you don't come back

I can feel you shutting off now
Like I always expected you would
Start believing all your friends now
'Cause they all say that you get bored
I feel it
You're 'bout to cut me out your life
I feel it
Just know that there's no second try

If you wanna go ahead and lie to me
Throw it all out now, that's fine with me
Oh, if I'm not enough for you, honestly
I hope you don't come back
When you see that I'm better off
When you're all broke down and you're missing us
When you finally figure out just what you lost
I hope you don't come back

You can see me shutting off now
I don't know what else you'd expect
Really thought I knew you so well
Shoulda known that's what I'd get
For thinking that you cared at all
I bet you'll blame it on the alcohol
Again, don't be acting so surprised
When you see there's no second try

Yeah, if you wanna go ahead and lie to me
Throw it all out now, that's fine with me
Oh, if I'm not enough for you, honestly
I hope you don't come back
When you see that I'm better off
When you're all broke down and you're missing us
When you finally figure out just what you lost
I hope you don't come back

When you haven't heard from me in forever
Don't come back
When you find out there's nobody better
Don't come back

If you wanna go ahead and lie to me
Throw it all out now, that's fine with me

Tate McRae shared with Apple Music the following about "Don't Come Back", the second song off of "I Used To Think I Could Fly", "I wanted the album to start with something lighter, and something that felt kind of empowering. It's an interpolation of a Nelly song ["Ride Wit Me"], which is super cool—I've never done something like that." Her song interpolates the chorus of Nelly's 2001 hit.
