BACKFIRED Lyrics by Layto

ARRIVED

2022

[Verse 1]
Dwelling in the past is something I should have never done
I might lose my head, when all this shit is said and done
Too many hours with you sitting right next to me
Aye, you were my ecstasy
You fucked me up, always thought that you were different
Blaming everyone, you talk about the distance
Goddammit, I’ve been here for you, it backfired
Now I don’t even hear from you

[Pre-Chorus]
Girl, you put me into overdrive
Piecing through all the bullshit
You know you the reason why

[Chorus]
(You’re the reason)
Until my last breath, so much unsaid
You ruined my life now I’m better off dead
You’re the reason, you’re the reason
Why it backfired
All the places we’ve been
Can’t admit shit
Shot me in the back, baby look what you did
You’re the reason, you’re the reason
Why it backfired

[Verse 2]
Left me on read, fucked me over - ya I need to tell you
Ya I need to say, the worst thing about you
Used me like a puppet and I never even had a chance
Stabbed me in the heart, it was your masterplan
Goddamn, I need you by my side
You fucked me over, don’t know why
Yeah I’m stuck in my head – I’m wasting time

[Pre-Chorus]
Girl, you put me in overdrive
Piecing through all the bullshit
You know you the reason why

[Chorus]
(You’re the reason)
Till my last breath, so much unsaid
You ruined my life now I’m better off dead
You’re the reason
You’re the reason why it backfired
All the places we’ve been
Can’t admit shit
Shot me in the back baby look what you did
You’re the reason, you’re the reason
Why it backfired
