Lyrics

**Verse 1**
I saw your picture on the dresser
Turned it facedown, then turned it back
Tried to tell myself I’m stronger
But my heart won’t live like that

I let my pride speak louder
Than the love behind your eyes
Now every room inside this house
Keeps repeating my goodbyes

I thought freedom would feel better
Thought I needed room to breathe
But the only thing I found out there
Was how much you meant to me

**Pre-Chorus**
I know I made you feel unwanted
Like your loving wasn’t enough
Now I’m standing in the wreckage
Of the only thing I ever loved

**Chorus**
I want you back, baby
Back here in my arms
I want you back, darling
Where my heart knows you belong

I was foolish, I was careless
I was blind to what I had
Now every road without you
Keeps leading me back

I want you back, baby
Give this broken man one chance
I’ll spend the rest of my life proving
I can be a better man

**Verse 2**
I passed the place where we first met
And had to pull my car aside
I remembered how you looked at me
Before I ever made you cry

You believed in every dream I had
When nobody knew my name
You held me through my failures
And I repaid you with pain

I took your patience for weakness
Took your faithfulness for granted
Now somebody else may get the love
That I was too proud to manage

**Pre-Chorus**
I don’t blame you for your leaving
You had every right to go
But losing you has taught me things
A stubborn man should know

**Chorus**
I want you back, baby
Back here in my arms
I want you back, darling
Where my heart knows you belong

I was foolish, I was careless
I was blind to what I had
Now every road without you
Keeps leading me back

**Bridge**
Tell me, does he know you take your coffee
With a little cream, no sugar at all?
Does he know you get real quiet
When something heavy’s on your heart?

Does he hold you when you’re worried?
Does he listen when you speak?
Or does he have the woman
I was too selfish to keep?

Oh, I know I don’t deserve you
I know sorry comes too late
But if one piece of love still lives there
Don’t let pride decide our fate

**Final Chorus**
I want you back, baby
Not just for another night
I want the chance to love you
The way I should’ve loved you right

I’ll give you truth without excuses
Give you time I used to waste
I’ll make your heart feel chosen
Every morning, every day

I want you back, baby
Hear the weakness in my voice
I lost you through my own mistakes
But I’m asking for one more choice

**Outro**
Come back where you belong, darling
Come back and let me make it right
This house ain’t known a moment’s peace
Since you walked out of my life

I want you back, baby
That’s all this lonely man can say
Come back where you belong
And I’ll never push your love away.
