Back Again - The Correspondents

I was told to return when my heart had been broken as if I was lacking a

qualification

I realised as soon as I’d gone on my way you cracked it like a nut and I wanted

to stay

In your hands I feel like a wind up toy

Walking with a moulded face of frozen joy

You wind me up, turn me to face the table’s edge

I fall down just as you make your pledge

But what did you say you said?

And why did you do what you’ve done?

One minute we’re laughing in- bed

The next an ultimatum

So now I have passed your test

Three weeks in a total mess

Can I come back again?

Love is a game you play

You’ve won, well done

Can I come back again?

You want to see me in a state over you

As if raw eyes confirm that my feelings are true

And you won’t believe my adoration if it’s simply said

So like a frog pawed by a cat I play dead

It’s not as though you leave me be

You’re always checking up on me

Calling friends and family who tell me you’re turning back

But they could hear it in your voice that something was about to crack

Maybe you are not as in control as you let on

There’s a genuine fear that I might move on

Thoughts in my head are rearranged, the game starts to change

Can I come back again?

Love is a game you play

You’ve won, well done

Can I come back again?

Love is a game you play

You’ve won, well done

Can I come back again?

You play the tough one

When all along you’re hoping that I won’t run

So I set a plan in place;

I tell my friends and family to pass on the news

That I’ve swept away the blues and found a new girl to chase

Events are then relayed

I hear nothing from you for five days

So I assume that we’ve gone our separate ways

Then silence is broken with a message which says:

I wanted to know if you could break my heart

So we know where we both stand right from the start

You don’t know what you’ve got until you’ve given it away

Can I come back again?

Love is a game you play

You’ve won, well done

Can I come back again?

Can I come back again?

Love is a game you play

You’ve won, well done

Can I come back again?

Love is a game you play

You’ve won, well done

Can I come back again?

Love is a game you play.

(Can I come back again?)

You’ve won, well done

Can I come back again?
