[Chorus: Atwood]

I think she took my backbone get it and go

I really wondered how you acted for him, didn’t need to know

I tried to speak up for myself, eyes glued to the floor

Now I can’t think of nothing else

Say goodbye at the door


[Verse 1: Atwood]

And so I took myself out my place and tried new things

Hooked a left down sunset found my good place

(But what happens)

What happens when you can’t comprehend a whole mess of shit

(With time passing)

I get callouses on my baggage and I’m less passionate till I’m gone

Get up and get on my own

That is just something I won’t do

I’m lost

Get up and count all my costs

How can I afford what I’m going through?

I’m not

I’m sat beside all my shots

I’m missing shit I don’t want

I went and forgot what I got

Yeah I think she


[Chorus: Atwood]

I think she took my backbone get it and go

I really wondered how you acted for him, didn’t need to know

I tried to speak up for myself, eyes glued to the floor

Now I can’t think of nothing else

Say goodbye at the door


[Verse 2: Headhaunter]

I flung the door wide open and lept out

Only took my keys and self-doubt

With untied shoes on, too gone

Can't tell I left to cool off or melt down

Yeah I'll dwell on the past with my hands in it

Been reaching backwards for the last minute

Near half-witted yeah 'least I know what I want

But what she wants seems to clash with it

Now I'm washing her off of my hands

I'm rinsing that taste from my tongue

I'm spitting that blood from my teeth

I'm shaking heart break from this skull

She's still there with him I don't wanna go back no

Backbone missing, heart strings like a lasso

Feelings slip right through the net, can't catch those

Press cancel nah won't catch those


[Chorus: Atwood]

I think she took my backbone get it and go

I really wondered how you acted for him, didn’t need to know

I tried to speak up for myself, eyes glued to the floor

Now I can’t think of nothing else

Say goodbye at the door
