I'm still here
I'm still around
You put my picture face down
I count the hours, count aloud, you count me out
You send your signals (oh)
I send flowers to the door that I can't walk through anymore (anymore)

Never meant to break your back
Never meant to start a fire
Never meant to hold your head under the water my love
When you get this call me back I will be walking on a wire
Hoping you would take me back in spite everything I've done (no oh)

Put on your favorite dress
I'm such a mess I drag like a cigarette
You didn't have to look so nice
To get me thinking twice
Never seen you walk so proudly
I've never seen step so soundly
I'm trying and crying to just quit
Because you just don't give a…

Never meant to break your back
Never meant to start a fire
Never meant to hold your head under the water my love
When you get this call me back I will be walking on a wire
Hoping you would take me back in spite everything I've done (no oh)

We can't go back, we can't go back to where we started
And I can't let that I won't let that
Leave us lonely hearted
I would rather fight than sleep tonight
Please don't roll your eyes love
I'm not about to let you go

Never meant to break your back
Never meant to start a fire
Never meant to hold your head under the water my love
When you get this call me back I will be walking on a wire
Hoping you would take me back in spite everything I've done (no oh)
