"I Don't Want You Back" lyrics

"I Don't Want You Back"

I've been waiting for the day you say you want me back
I've been alone but baby I can't seem to understand
You threw my heart into the flames, I took our pictures out the frames
I tried to throw 'em out but I still keep 'em just in case
If you're wondering if I still love you after so much time has passed
Since you asked...

I don't really want you back
I just want the life we had
I don't really want you back
No I don't

No I don't really want you close
I just needed you to know
That I don't really want you back
No I don't

And I remember all the times you said you had my back
But now we're separated going down our separate paths
You threw my heart into the flames, I took our pictures out the frames
I tried to throw 'em out but I still keep 'em just in case
If you're wondering if I still love you after so much time away
Here's what I say...

I don't really want you back
I just want the life we had
I don't really want you back
No I don't, I don't

And I don't really want you close
I just needed you to know
That I don't really want you back
No I don't

But I don't wanna let you go
No I don't wanna let you go
Oh, I don't wanna let you go
No I don't wanna let you go

I don't really want you back
I just want the life we had
I don't really want you back
No I don't, oh

No I don't really want you close
I just needed you to know
That I don't really want you back
No I don't

But I don't wanna let you go
No I don't wanna let you go
Oh, I don't wanna let you go
No I don't wanna let you go

No I don't
