Setback Lyrics by Jaclyn E

2024

Intro:
One step forward
Two steps back
It just doesn’t work like that

I know something that you don’t
It’s time to tell you what I know

Verse 1:
Had a little setback
But I’m getting back on track
No more wasting my time

Wrote about the Energy
That you simply took from me
Now the whole world is mine

Felt like a princess
For just two seconds
Then I went back to cryin’

My tears hitting the floor
I know my heart needs something more
It’s time that I felt divine

Pre-chorus:
Setback
(It’s just a setback.)
I won’t give up on that
One step forward, 2 steps back


Verse 2:
I tried to hide it well
The music’s got me in a spell
My dreams are on the line

I’m tired, but not enough
But I won’t be giving up
Our bond is poison on a vine

Know I’m a whole meal
You just like my sex appeal
Like all the others before your time

Baby, you know it’s true
It’s right of front of you
Cause what we did should be a crime


Pre-chorus:
Setback
It’s just a setback
Don’t want it holding me back
One step forward, 2 steps back

Chorus:
One step forward
Two steps back
It just doesn’t work like that
I know something that you don’t
It’s time to tell you what I know

Keep your secret
You’ll keep mine
What we did should be a crime
Only they knew the truth
All eyes would be looking at you



Verse 3:
When I was little, I believed in love
Thought they’d cherish me if I treated them good
Now I know you don’t get what you give
You taught me something, I’m taking instead

Time to be selfish
My life’s on the line
I can’t keep writing what I feel all the time

Our moments weren’t beautiful
It wasn’t even real
I can’t keep giving in
Doing what I feel

Bridge:
I’m keeping your secret
And you are keeping mine (2x)

I gotta stop falling for lies all the time
Cause I’m keeping your secret and you are keeping mine


End:
One step forward
Two steps back
It just doesn’t work like that

I know something that you don’t
It’s time to tell you what I know
