1 step forward 3 steps back Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Called you on the phone today
Just to ask you how you were
All I did was speak normally
Somehow, I still struck a nerve
You got me f__ up in the head, boy
Never doubted myself so much
Like am I pretty? Am I fun, boy?
I hate that I give you power over that kinda stuff
[Chorus]
‘Cause it’s always 1 step forward and 3 steps back
I’m the love of your life until I make you mad
It’s always 1 step forward and 3 steps back
Do you love me, want me, hate me?
Boy, I don’t understand
No, I don’t understand
[Verse 2]
And maybe in some masochistic way
I kind of find it all exciting
Like, which lover will I get today?
Will you walk me to the door or send me home crying?
[Chorus]
It’s 1 step forward and 3 steps back
I’m the love of your life until I make you mad
It’s always 1 step forward and 3 steps back
Do you love me, want me, hate me?
Boy, I don’t understand
[Bridge]
No, it’s back and forth, did I say something wrong?
It’s back and forth, going over everything I said
It’s back and forth, did I do something wrong?
It’s back and forth, maybe this is all your fault instead
[Chorus]
It’s 1 step forward and 3 steps back
And I’d leave you, but the rollercoaster’s all I’ve ever had
Yeah, it’s 1 step forward and 3 steps back
Do you love me, want me, hate me?
Boy, I don’t understand
No, I don’t understand
