[Verse 1]
Every night I prayed for, prayed for clarity
All while you were lying right there next to me
You barely even noticed I was losing sleep
You barely even noticed you were losing me, mmm

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't say shit to me
Don't say a word to me
Don't ask me to change
Don't want your heart to break
Words don't hurt no more
I heard it all before
Don't ask me to change
Don't want your heart to break

[Chorus]
Don't want your heart to break
Don't want your heart to break
Ain't goin' backwards now
Ain't goin' backwards now
Ain't doin' retrograde
Ain't doin' retrogradе
Ain't goin' backwards now
Ain't goin' backwards now

[Post-Chorus]
Ain't doin' retrograde

[Verse 2]
Is it just that you're so damn oblivious?
Or is it just that you don't takе me serious? (Mmm)
Counting my excuses more than millions (Oh)
Boy, I'm done with it, done with it, done with it
I don't even know what I'm doing here

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't say shit to me
Don't say a word to me
Don't ask me to change
Don't want your heart to break
Words don't hurt no more
I heard it all before
Don't ask me to change (Oh)
Don't want your heart to break (Oh)

[Chorus]
Don't want your heart to break
Don't want your heart to break
Ain't goin' backwards now
Ain't goin' backwards now
Ain't doin' retrograde
Ain't doin' retrograde
Ain't goin' backwards now
Ain't goin' backwards now

[Outro]
Ain't doin' retrograde
Ain't goin' backwards now
Ain't doin' retrograde

Dua Lipa

Dua Lipa is a British singer-songwriter.

Born in London on August 22, 1995, she is the daughter of Albanian rock artist Dukagjin Lipa. She moved to Kosovo at the age of 11 before returning to the UK at age 15 to attend Sylvia Young Theatre School part-time. Posting covers of artists such as Nelly Furtado, Chance The Rapper and Rihanna, she signed to Warner Records (Vertigo/Captiol for Germany, Austria and Switzerland) and released her debut single, “New Love.” Its follow-up, “Be The One,” became her breakthrough single in mainland Europe. She was also shortlisted for the BBC Sound of 2016 list and was nominated for the prestigious BRITs Critics Choice Award.

In 2016, she broke through in the UK with “Hotter Than Hell,” and scored her first Billboard Hot 100-charting single with “Blow Your Mind (Mwah).” Collaborations with Martin Garrix and Sean Paul on their worldwide hits “Scared to Be Lonely” and “No Lie”“ followed in 2017. Her self-titled debut album was released on June 2, debuting at #5 on the UK Album Charts and at #86 on the Billboard 200 and receiving positive reviews from critics, many praising Dua Lipa’s vocals and confidence. The album’s sixth single, “New Rules,” became a worldwide hit, topping the charts in the UK and remaining in the top 5 for 10 consecutive weeks. In early 2018, “IDGAF” was released to similar success, while Dua won two BRIT Awards, including Best Breakthrough Act. She saw continued success with her Calvin Harris collaboration, “One Kiss,” and closed out the year with a Complete Edition reissue of her album.
