Skofi - Back and Forth

I try to avoid your gaze
I try to avoid looking at your beautiful face
‘cause you make it seem so easy to look away
So now that I question myself
I want you to answer the question I texted you when I was higher than a plane
Why would you bother anyway

Why can’t you be who I want you to be
Why can’t I be
Why can’t I be what you need

I live an illusion of us
Guess I got caught up way too fast
In all your charms and your smile such a beautiful lie
I know I’m always in my head
I know I’m a prisoner to my loneliness
But you ain’t giving me
Anything to set me free

Why can’t you be who I want you to be
Why can’t I be
Why can’t I be what you need

Always back and forth
Back and forth
Always playing games with my heart
Why is it so hard to share your thoughts with me
Why is it so hard to be honest baby


Yeah life goes always back and forth
Doesn’t matter where you are
Down in the south up in the north
But every moments fuckin short
So you keep tryin to avoid

All those uncomfortable feelings
Unpredictable bleedings
Gotta tell you a secret
Cause all you really need is

A handful of caring people
Try not to lose them even if your ego’s sitting on a steeple
These are the people you will miss
These are the moments of bliss


I see you collecting these men
Keeping them close to your heart and watch them falling apart
Oh how you make it look like an art
I know you’d rather be alone
I know you only shed tears when you’re on your own
But baby can’t you see all the energy you’re taking from me and the pain you so carelessly leave

Why can’t you be who I want you to be
Why can’t I be
Why can’t I be what you need

Always back and forth
Back and forth
Always playing games with my heart
Why is it so hard to share your thoughts with me
Why is it so hard to be honest baby

You decide to keep your mouth shut
Not saying a word of love to me
Baby can’t you see
Tell me can’t you see
What a tragedy
