[Intro]
(I'm running away)
(I don’t wanna go back)
[Verse 1]
I met a girl last night, yeah
I didn’t care too much
You came right to my mind, uh-huh
I compared her to you
I compare everyone to you (let it go)
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I didn’t know how to love till you showed me
But now that you showed me I’m doomed
(I'm running away)
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna go backwards
But I don’t wanna go back to you
‘Cause you set the bar so high
All that I know is I don’t wanna go backwards
(I'm running away)
(I don't wanna go back)
(I'm running away)
(I don't wanna go back)
[Verse 2]
I wish you made it hard, uh-huh
I wish you broke my heart, yeah
But you were perfect through every part of it
Now I’m set up to lose
I compare everyone to you (I'm running away)
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna go backwards
But I don’t wanna go back to you
‘Cause you set the bar so high
All that I know is I don’t wanna go backwards
‘Cause you set the bar so high
And if I could turn back timе
Will I be suffering all my life?
[Outro]
(I'm running away)
(I don't wanna go back)
