Back Then (part 1)


I think I could've had him back then 

 he'd hold my hand but I snatched away 

 he'd pull me in by my waist and I pushed him away 

But I think I could've had him back then 

 when I'd see him staring at me I'd roll my eyes 

 when I'd see him smile at me I'd turn my head 

Sometimes I think I could've had him back then 

 he'd tell I was his and I'd ignore him 

 he'd tell me that he loved me and I didn't say it back 

But I think I could've had him back then 

 he'd ask me why I was with someone else but I'd make an excuse 

 he'd tell me to leave who I was with but I refused 

Still I think I could've had him back then 

I'd never admit it but I'd wanted him too 

Then one day everything stopped
