Shouldn't Come Back

Demi Lovato · Demi [2013]

See you calling again,

I don't wanna pick up, no.

I've been laying in bed,

probably thinking too much, oh.

Sorry I'm not sorry for the times I don't reply,

you know the reason why.



Maybe you shouldn't come back,

Maybe you shouldn't come back to me.

Tired of being so sad, tired of getting so mad, baby.

Stop, right now, you'll only let me down, oh oh,

maybe you shouldn't come back,

maybe you shouldn't come back to me.



Trying not to forget,

should be easier than this, oh oh.

All the birthdays you missed,

I was only a kid, oh oh.

Sorry I'm not sorry for the times I don't reply,

you know the reason why.



Maybe you shouldn't come back,

Maybe you shouldn't come back to me.

Tired of being so sad, tired of getting so mad, baby.

Stop, right now, you'll only let me down, oh oh,

maybe you shouldn't come back,

maybe you shouldn't come back to me.



To me.

Sorry I'm not sorry for the times.



Maybe you shouldn't come back,

Maybe you shouldn't come back to me.

Tired of being so sad, I'm tired of getting so mad, baby.

Stop, right now, you'll only let me down, oh oh,

maybe you shouldn't come back,

maybe you shouldn't come back to me.



Maybe you shouldn't come back to me.
