Back Where You Started

[Verse 1]

Baby, tell me what you're trying to prove

Playing games with my heart

Hey, now listen

I ain't gonna take one more night

You're the one who broke the rules

And I'm the one who played the fool

Now you're tryna tell me, it's alright

[Pre-Chorus 1]

You should have known better than to hurt a friend

You'll never get another chance again

[Chorus 1]

You'll be back where you started

I know you won't admit it

But you're brokenhearted

You'll be back where you started

You think it's gonna be easy

But it just gets harder, harder, harder, yeah

[Verse 2]

Ooh, you had a way with words

One look and I was under your spell

I didn't know, should I stay? Should I run?

You can't deny that you told me lies

Love 'em and leave 'em baby, that's your style

I'm not afraid to take life as it comes

[Pre-Chorus 2]

You play with fire, guess you'll never learn

You messed with me baby, going to get burned

[Chorus 2]

You'll be back where you started

And you know how it feels

When you've been discarded

You'll be back where you started

But you think you got it made

But it won't get you far

No, it won't get you far

You'll be back where you started

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]

Who's going to help ya, throw you a lifeline?

I'll tell you one thing, you've really done it this time

You took your one chance and let it slip away

You never gonna let it settle down

The river's gone now, all over the town

[Chorus 1]

You'll be back where you started

I know you won't admit it

But you're brokenhearted

You'll be back where you started

You think it's gonna be easy

But it just gets harder

[Outro]

You'll be back where you started

And you know how it feels

When you've been discarded

You'll be back where you started

You'll be back where you started

You'll be back where you started

You'll be back where you started
