Authors: Ashanti Lee & Quentin Primas
Verse 1
So here we are in this place
We said we wouldn't be but look we're back
This is the part where I give up
And then you blow up and we both get mad
Now we'll sit in complete silence
You won't touch me, I won't look your way
But we're thinking alike, we;re just trying
To see who will be the first to say, yeah
We're never gonna make it
So there's no need to fake it
Why do we waste our time
Continuously pressing rewind
Can see our feelings fading
We driving each other crazy
It's just one question I need answered
Cause it's heavy on my mind
Chorus
How did we get stuck on replay (replay)
We're going through the same things again
Just when start to move forward (forward)
We're right back where we began
Over again (replay) Over again (replay)
Over again (replay) Over again (replay)
Over again (replay) Over again (replay)
Over again (replay) Over again (replay)
Verse 2
We're like the train wreck, that jumps the same track
Though we know tragedy's ahead, we can't avoid the crash
So damaged and bruised, we walk away with our wounds
Together we heal, until one afternoon
You want out, I want in
You want in, I want out; We keep going in circles
Threw in the towel, so I'm out
Gotta leave this town; Now we're at the train station
Chorus
Bridge
Threw in the towel, I was out
Thought I'd leave this town, turned around
So I'm a back home now
I Threw in the towel, I was out
Thought I'd leave this town, turned around
So I'm a back home now
Chorus
