Some fans thing that Selena wrote this song about her ex, Justin Bieber. But others thing it’s just rumors. What do you think?

In the song, Selena says, “If I could do it all again, I know I’d go back to you.” This is an example of the second conditional. We use the second conditional for a situation in the present or future that is hypothetical, unlikely or impossible.   if + past simple, …would + infinitive.

LYRICS

Took you like a shot
Thought that I could chase you with a cold evening
Let a couple years waterdown how I’m feeling about you
(Feeling about you)
And every time we talk
Every single word builds up to this moment
And I gotta convince myself I don’t want it
Even though I do (even though I do)

You could break my heart in two
But when it heals, it beats for you
I know it’s forward, but it’s true

I wanna hold you when I’m not supposed to
When I’m lying close to someone else
You’re stuck in my head and I can’t get you out of it
If I could do it all again
I know I’d go back to you
I know I’d go back to you
I know I’d go back to you

We never got it right
Playing and replaying old conversations
Overthinking every word and I hate it
‘Cause it’s not me (’Cause it’s not me)
And what’s the point in hiding?
Everybody knows we got unfinished business
And I’ll regret it if I didn’t say
This isn’t what it could be (isn’t what it could be)

You could break my heart in two
But when it heals, it beats for you
I know it’s forward, but it’s true
I wanna hold you when I’m not supposed to
When I’m lying close to someone else
You’re stuck in my head and I can’t get you out of it
If I could do it all again
I know I’d go back to you
I know I’d go back to you
I know I’d go back to you
I’d go back to you
I’d go back to you
What was there wasn’t sure
But I’d go back to you
I know I’d go back to you

You can break my heart in two
But when it heals, it beats for you
I know it’s forward, but it’s true
Won’t lie, I’d go back to you
You know, my thoughts are running loose
It’s just a thing you make me do
And I could fight, but what’s the use?
I know I’d go back to you

I wanna hold you when I’m not supposed to
When I’m lying close to someone else
You’re stuck in my head and I can’t get you out of it
If I could do it all again
I know I’d go back to you
I’d go back to you
I’d go back to you
I know I’d go back to you
(Go back to you, go back to you)
(Go back to you, go back to you)
(Go back to you, go back to you)

It’s your turn. Sing along with the lyrics.
