never understood

[Verse 1]

My trust was misused, huh

Tried to pick your brain, I still don't get you

Take back all my words, know I regret you

Reached a point where I don't care if I upset you, yeah-yeah

No-no, I never understood why you portrayed me in that light when I was always good

I'm tryna understand you motive, but I can't read your mood

You said my intentions were bad, but yours were never go-ood

Yeah-yeah, bet that shit facts too

I'm tryna lower down the bridge and storm your castle

I'm finally breakin' out of what we had, your shackles

I'm tryna go forwards, but you always bring us back-back

[Chorus]

Forward, then it's back, that's with every step, girl

Tryna forget your name, but you're stuck in my head, girl

So I play it safe, I don't wanna know your name

I'm so tired, girl, of hurtin', I won't go through that again

Forward, then it's back, that's with every step, girl

Tryna forget your name, but you're stuck in my head, girl

So I play it safe, I don't wanna know your name

I'm so tired, girl, of hurtin', I won't go through that again

[Verse 2]

Because now, I see your red flags

And now you're probably wonderin' why I don't text back

Yeah-yeah, karma's my get-back

I'm tryna get you out my mind, it's hard to forget

'Cause your hair was blowin' in my face when I rolled down, yeah, my window

You said that you knew me from another life, but I guess it's not that simple

I can't cope correctly when I'm alone, that's why I drop my singles

I'm tryna love you right and you love you best, but I know what I was in for

[Bridge]

(Forward, then it's back)

(Forward, then it's back-back)

(Forward, then it's back)

(Forward, then it's back)

(Forward, then it's back, that's with every–)

(That's with every s–)

(Forward, then it's back, nah, yeah, that's with every step, girl)

[Chorus]

Forward, then it's back, that's with every step, girl

Tryna forget your name, but you're stuck in my head, girl

So I play it safe, I don't wanna know your name

I'm so tired, girl, of hurtin', I won't go through that again

Forward, then it's back, that's with every step, girl

Tryna forget your name, but you're stuck in my head, girl

So I play it safe, I don't wanna know your name

I'm so tired, girl, of hurtin', I won't go through that again

[Outro]

(Go through that again, I can't go through that again)

(I can't go through again, no, I, huh)

(Go through that again, I can't go through that again)

(I don't wanna know your friends, no, I, huh-huh)
