Backwards

Lyrics

[Chorus: Sampha] It's backwards how you cyclone me Sinkhole, blackhole, control me It's backwards, I move in slowly It's backwards, you say it's all me [Verse 1: Sampha] Restricted Restricted by your turn of phrase Conflicted Not by what you say, but how you say it Oh, and I need it (I need it), no No, I don't need that C4 (I don't need that C4) Explosive But still I keep comin' for more, yeah [Chorus: Sampha] It's backwards how you cyclone me Sinkhole, blackhole, control me It's backwards, I move in slowly It's backwards, you say it's all me [Verse 2: Sampha] Why I feel like I can't ever tell a soul? Why I feel like I can't ever break this mould? Why I feel like all of this is set in stone? (Set in stone) Why I feel like it's too late to telephone? And talk about it like wе're adults But the child in me can't lеt it go (Let it go) The child in me is not responsible For all the hurt that you've ever known That shotgun and you've let it go Like anytime you feel vulnerable You can't tolerate, you're uncomfortable You can't tolerate the uncomfortable [Chorus: Sampha] It's backwards how you cyclone me Sinkhole, blackhole, control me It's backwards, I move in slowly It's backwards, you say it's all me It's backwards how you cyclone me Sinkhole, blackhole, control me It's backwards, I move in slowly It's backwards, you say it's all me [Bridge: Sampha] It's all me, it's all me It's all me, woah-oh It's all me, it's all me, it's all me [Chorus: Sampha] It's backwards how you cyclone me Sinkhole, blackhole, control me It's backwards, I move in slowly It's backwards, you say it's all me
