Turning PINK - Backslide

Yeah, it's like every damn time,
Try to leave, I'm caught in rewind,
Guess my stupid heart's still blind,
Here we go again…

I'm staring at my phone, got your name on the screen,
Thought I blocked your number, but I guess I'm still weak,
Told myself a thousand times, this time I'm done,
But I'm a sucker for the drama and the battles we've won.

Yeah, we fight, we break, we love, then hate,
We swear it's over, then we call it fate,
You're the poison I sip, but the taste is sweet,
Got me circling back like I'm stuck on repeat.

You play with my head like a twisted game,
I'm in the lion's den, and I know you're to blame,
But I walk in again like I don't know pain,
Guess I'm a masochist, man, I'm goin' insane.

I'm a king without a crown, lost in your flame,
Try to put the fire out, but it's callin' my name,
I know I should leave, but I'm back in the frame,
Blame my stupid heart, yeah, it's always the same.

Backslide, yeah, I'm fallin' in line,
Gettin' burnt every time, but I'm still tryin',
I know I should run, but I can't deny,
My stupid heart can't say goodbye.
Backslide, and I'm losing control,
Swearin' it's the last time, but I'm back in the fold,
You're my wrecking ball, I'm your crash dummy,
If I'm goin' down, you're goin' with me, honey.

Yeah, I talk a big game like I'm tough as steel,
But one text from you and I'm head over heels,
Every time I leave, you got that look in your eyes,
I should see the trap, but I'm hypnotized.

I'm tryin' to be strong, yeah, I'm tryin' to be cold,
But my stupid heart's got a mind of its own,
It's a heavyweight fight, but I'm throwin' no blows,
‘Cause every jab I throw, I get caught in the ropes.

I'm addicted to you, like ink to my skin,
Wanna break free, but you pull me back in,
I'm a fool for your love, yeah, I'm payin' the toll,
It's a dangerous game, but I'm playin' it bold.

I'm stuck in this loop, lost in this haze,
Every time I escape, I'm back in your maze,
I know that it's stupid, I know that it's crazed,
But my heart doesn't listen, it just misbehaves.

Backslide, yeah, I'm fallin' in line,
Gettin' burnt every time, but I'm still tryin',
I know I should run, but I can't deny,
My stupid heart can't say goodbye.
Backslide, and I'm losing control,
Swearin' it's the last time, but I'm back in the fold,
You're my wrecking ball, I'm your crash dummy,
If I'm goin' down, you're goin' with me, honey.

Yeah, I'm caught in your web like a fly to a flame,
Try to break free, but it's all in vain,
You got a hold on my mind, you're messin' my brain,
But damn, I still want you, maybe I'm insane.

So, I'm back on this ride, and I'm bucklin' in,
If we're crashin' and burnin', then let the flames begin,
I'm a glutton for punishment, I'm payin' the fee,
Blame my stupid heart for not lettin' me be.


Yeah, it's my stupid heart, always back for more,
I try to close it up, but it reopens the door,
Round and round we go, I guess that's our fate,
Backslide again, yeah, it's checkmate.

Damn… (laughs) here we go again…
