Lyrics

Focus

[Verse 1]

Should anybody ask for me, tell 'em I'll be right back

In a real short time

It's just that I lost my mind, I gotta find it

Once I hop on my train of thought

I'll get back here pronto to collect myself

There's really nothing you can do to help

[Pre-Chorus]

Every time I see you

I'm reminded of every time we did it (Yeah, yeah)

All those other women (Yeah, yeah)

Every time you lied to me

Said you only had eyes for me (Eyes for me)

(I don't wanna...)

[Chorus]

Don't wanna lose my focus

But it's bound to leave (Yes, it is)

Every time you come runnin' into me (You come runnin', runnin')

All we used to be shouldn't even matter to me

Don't wanna lose my focus

But it's bound to leave (Oh, yeah, yeah)

Every time you come runnin' into me

All we used to be shouldn't even matter to me

(Don't wanna lose my focus)

[Verse 2]

But it's too late now, 'cause I'm reminded

I wanna put it behind but I'm behind it

Lord knows I'm tired

As much as I'd love to join you on planet Earth right now

I know that I'm too hurt right now to be civilized

So, I'ma need this time alone, 'cause it won't be long

[Pre-Chorus]

Every time I see you

I'm reminded of every time we did it (Every time I see you)

All those other women (Other women)

Every time you lied to me

Said you only had eyes for me

(I don't wanna...)

[Chorus]

Don't wanna lose my focus

But it's bound to leave (It's bound to leave me)

Every time you come runnin' into me (Oh)

All we used to be shouldn't even matter to me (It doesn't even matter)

Don't wanna lose my focus

But it's bound to leave (Bound to leave)

Every time you come runnin' into me (Hey, baby)

All we used to be shouldn't even matter to me

(Don't wanna lose my focus)

[Bridge]

Oh, I'll be back

Lost my way, got off track

Please try to understand

I used to love you, man

Oh, I'll be back

Lost my way, got off track

Please try to understand

I used to love you, man

[Chorus]

Don't wanna lose my focus (I can't lose it)

But it's bound to leave (No)

Every time you come runnin' into me (You come runnin' into me)

All we used to be shouldn't even matter to me (Oh, shouldn't even matter)

Don't wanna lose my focus (Oh)

But it's bound to leave (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Every time you come runnin' into me

All we used to be shouldn't even matter to me

Don't wanna lose my focus

But it's bound to leave

Every time you come runnin' into me

All we used to be shouldn't even matter to me

Don't wanna lose my focus

But it's bound to leave

Every time you come runnin' into me

All we used to be shouldn't even matter to me

(Don't wanna lose my focus)
