Back to you
Ooh
Ooh

Back to you
Ooh
Ooh

I could never say enough to thank you
For everything you’ve done for me
And I might think I could do enough to show you but I know
That’s just a crazy dream

This shouldn’t be complicated
This isn’t that hard to see
It’s not about what I do for you
It’s what you’ve done for me

You gave your love, you gave your life
You gave your everything and I
Wanna give it all back
Give it all back to you
(If you give it all back)
You took a heart so black and blue
And piece by piece you make it new
The only thing left, the only thing left to do
Is give it all back to you
(Back to you) you
(Back to you) you
Give it all back to you

I just want to be a life that you use
I want all of me to be all for you (be all for you)
And when I get it wrong you stick with me
Ain’t that the truth
It’s just what you do (it’s just what you do)

This shouldn’t be complicated (complicated)
This isn’t that hard to see (hard to see)
It’s not about what I do for you
It’s what you’ve done for me

You gave your love, you gave your life
You gave your everything and I
Wanna give it all back
Give it all back to you
(If you give it all back)
You took a heart so black and blue
And piece by piece you make it new
The only thing left, the only thing left to do
Is give it all back to you
(Back to you) you
(Back to you) you
Give it all back to you

I won’t forget what you did
How you died so I could live
I don’t deserve this kind of love
I’ll testify, testify how you gave your life for mine
The only thing I know to do is give it all back to you

It’s not about what I do for you
It’s what you’ve done for me

You gave your love, you gave your life
You gave your everything and I
Wanna give it all back
Give it all back to you
(I wanna give it all back to you)
You took a heart so black and blue
And piece by piece you make it new
The only thing left, the only thing left to do
Is give it all back to you

And I wont forget what you did what you did
(And I wont forget what you did what you did
(Give it all back, give it all back to you)

And I wont forget what you did what you did
And I wont forget what you did what you did
(Give it all back, give it all back to you)
