[Verse 1]
Every night I prayed for, prayed for clarity
All while you were lying right there next to me
You barely even noticed I was losing sleep
You barely even noticed you were losing me, mmm

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't say shit to me
Don't say a word to me
Don't ask me to change
Don't want your heart to break
Words don't hurt no more
I heard it all before
Don't ask me to change
Don't want your heart to break

[Chorus]
Don't want your heart to break
Don't want your heart to break
Ain't goin' backwards now
Ain't goin' backwards now
Ain't doin' retrograde
Ain't doin' retrogradе
Ain't goin' backwards now
Ain't goin' backwards now
[Post-Chorus]
Ain't doin' retrograde

[Verse 2]
Is it just that you're so damn oblivious?
Or is it just that you don't takе me serious? (Mmm)
Counting my excuses more than millions (Oh)
Boy, I'm done with it, done with it, done with it
I don't even know what I'm doing here

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't say shit to me
Don't say a word to me
Don't ask me to change
Don't want your heart to break
Words don't hurt no more
I heard it all before
Don't ask me to change (Oh)
Don't want your heart to break (Oh)

[Chorus]
Don't want your heart to break
Don't want your heart to break
Ain't goin' backwards now
Ain't goin' backwards now
Ain't doin' retrograde
Ain't doin' retrograde
Ain't goin' backwards now
Ain't goin' backwards now
[Outro]
Ain't doin' retrograde
Ain't goin' backwards now
Ain't doin' retrograde
