Back Words Lyrics by Jon Langston

2022

[Verse 1]
That Jack bottle'd still be sittin’ intact on the shelf
There wouldn't be 17 new missed calls on your cell
I'd be yours, you’d be mine
We'd be fine if only time moved
Backwards, backwards

[Chorus]
Why? Baby, why?
Why can't I unsay the way
I went and said, goodbye, baby, bye
I'd take 'em all back, you were so damn good
I should have bit my tongue and held you in my arms
Now it's said and done, no matter how hard I try, baby, try, baby I, I can't take back words (I can't take back words)

[Verse 2]
Let the grass grow back in a track she left to the yard
I’ve been letting down instead of putting up my guard
Yes I would, if yesterday was tomorrow
I’d turn go to heaven to hell down low

[Chorus]
Why? Baby, why?
Why can't I unsay the way
I went and said, goodbye, baby, bye
I’d take 'em all back, you were so damn good
I should have bit my tongue and held you in my arms
Now it's said and done, no matter how hard I try, baby, try, baby I, I can't take back words

[Bridge]
I didn’t mean
Words I never should have spoke
Girl, what's killin' me
I should have pulled you close
'Stead of letting' go, oh
Why? Baby, why?

[Chorus]

Why? Baby, why?
Why can't I unsay the way
I went and said, goodbye, baby, bye
I'd take 'em all back, you were so damn good
I should have bit my tongue and held you in my arms
Now it's said and done, no matter how hard I try, baby, try, baby I, I can't take back words (I can't take back words)

[Outro]
No, I can't
I can't take back words
