1 step forward, 3 steps back

Called you on the phone today
 Just to ask you how you were
 All I did was speak normally
 Somehow, I still struck a nerve
 You got me fucked up in the head, boy
 Never doubted myself so much
 Like, am I pretty? Am I fun, boy?
 I hate that I give you power over that kind of stuff
 'Cause it's always one step forward and three steps back
 I'm the love of your life until I make you mad
 It's always one step forward and three steps back
 Do you love me, want me, hate me?
 Boy, I don't understand
 No, I don't understand
 And maybe, in some masochistic way
 I kinda find it all exciting
 Like, which lover will I get today?
 Will you walk me to the door or send me home crying?
 It's one step forward and three steps back
 I'm the love of your life until I make you mad
 It's always one step forward and three steps back
 Do you love me, want me, hate me?
 Boy, I don't understand
 No, it's back and forth, did I say something wrong?
 It's back and forth, going over everything I said
 It's back and forth, did I do something wrong?
 It's back and forth, maybe this is all your fault instead
 It's one step forward and three steps back
 And I'd leave you, but the rollercoaster's all I've ever had
 Yeah, it's one step forward and three steps back
 Do you love me, want me, hate me?
 Boy, I don't understand
 No, I don't understand
