Backspace

Back to when I had courage
Back to when I was fearless
I erase my message to you
Like a turtle hiding in it's shell
I'm tired of being a turtle
I'm tired of backspacing

Backspace

Back to when I wasn't hopelessly in love
Back to when I thought I was free of this
This recurring nightmare
Filled to the brim with ignored love
I'm tired of dreaming
I'm tired of backspacing

Backspace

Back to when he was mine
Back to when I was his
Why?Why do I keep doing this?
The feeling is indescriblable
I'm tired of waiting
I'm tired of backspacing

Backspace

Back to when it wasn't too late to retype
Back to when it was possible
I need you
But you think you don't need me
I'm tired of being tired
I'm tired of backspacing

Backspace
