Backfired Lyrics by Sam Bayford

2022

You made something up to let me down easy
And I wonder why you felt like you needed to
Nothing worse than when I heard you were numb to it
You said "have you ever fallen out of love?"
I said "No, have you?"

Then I came home I lost my head then I apologised
I said if you put your love away, just run it by me
And I thought if you don't want me
I gotta go and I'll leave tonight
Then I said it out loud and it backfired

Please don't judge me, let this stay between me and you
And you can handle things like you always do
You called my bluff and I'm sure you were sad too
I had to hide you under somebody for a year or two

Then I came home I lost my head then I apologised
I said if you put your love away, just run it by me
And I thought if you don't want me
I gotta go and I'll leave tonight
Then I said it out loud and it backfired
And it backfired

Loaded the bullet and you clocked it
You saw it coming and you dodged it
I really thought I was on to something

Then I came home I lost my head then I apologised
I said if you put your love away, just run it by me
And I thought if you don't want me
I gotta go and I'll leave tonight
Then I said it out loud and it backfired
And it backfired
