Back to Me
About the song
“Back to Me” by Vanotek is about the pain of loving someone who’s moved on but still lingers in your heart. The singer feels betrayed, realizing their partner’s mind — and maybe heart — belongs to someone else, even while they’re still together.
The lyrics reveal confusion and longing. There’s a fight between wanting them back and knowing they don’t deserve another chance. The singer sees through the lies, yet part of them still waits — still hopes that love might return.
By the end, the song becomes a quiet plea and a declaration of strength. “I’m not a doll,” they say — a reminder that they deserve real love, not empty promises. Still, beneath the words, the heart aches, whispering one last time: come back to me.
Lyrics
Hey, going down, down, feel the heat
Bring me, yeah
Take me back, don’t leave me, don’t be bad, don’t hurt me
Listen to me when I say
I know what you did, so when you said you let go
Did you ever think of me?
But it’s going through my mind
That she’s always in your mind
While I keep you there in mine, oh I
It’s going through my mind
That she’s always in your mind
While I keep you there in mine, oh I
I’m not a doll, that all he’s ever been taught
Still wait patiently, don’t you come back to me
I’m not a doll, that all he’s ever been taught
Still wait patiently, come back to me, to me
There is something different in the way you’re speaking
Now you’re harder to believe
I can tell you’re distant, and I know the reason
Did you think that I won’t see?
But it’s going through my mind
That she’s always in your mind
While I keep you there in mine, oh I
It’s going through my mind
That she’s always in your mind
While I keep you there in mine, oh I
I’m not a doll, that all he’s ever been taught
Still wait patiently, don’t you come back to me
I’m not a doll, that all he’s ever been taught
Still wait patiently, come back to me, to me
Gimme a reason why you said goodbye
Gimme a reason for the lonely nights
Gimme a reason why you did that
No need to fall on your knees
I’m not a doll, that all he’s ever been taught
Still wait patiently, don’t you come back to me
I’m not a doll, that all he’s ever been taught
Still wait patiently, come back to me, to me
Come back to me, to me
Come back to me, to me
