Once  upon a time I thought  everything would turn  out fine, just like lines in books
 Now I'm caught,  caught up in a tangled  web
All  the things you said I bought,  like a fool I'd shout  it loud, I dont care what they say
 And now its clear  that all of it was make-believe
So  now and then I think,  now and then I think  too much about you in  my sleep, about you in
 my sleep
 And when the dreams  have all come back  and settled down
 And the stupid nightmares  hang around
 with the visions of  the one you're with  now
 I know I tried  to get you out  my broken mind
 And to leave the past  we have behind
 But it's no use wishing  now for things  like that
 I want you back
Well  I really truly tried  in the way you'd want  me to, and never do you harm
 I see it couldnt last  'cause of what I said  to you
And  you knew it all along,  you couldn't have just said  to me, "I dont care about it"
 No, you couldn't say,  "Hey girl, just leave  it all behind"
 Well now  and then I think,  now and then I think  too much about you in  my sleep, about you in
 my sleep
I  want you back
I  need you back
I  want you back
