Lyrics

take it back

I'm on the run with all the things that we had
And I wish that I could tell you that it wasn't that bad
In a car that's full of memories of things in the past
Got a truck full of forgotten love, my foot's on the gas

So I, I take it back, I take it back now
I, I take it back, I take it all back, back
I take it back, I take it back now
If she never loved me then I'm better off alone, yeah

I, I take it back, I take it back now
I, I take it back, I take it all back, back
I take it back, I take it back now
If she never loved me then I'm better off alone, yeah

So if you call me and you're wanting me back
I'm a hundred miles away from where you're calling a cab, yeah
Somewhere deep inside I knew that it wouldn't last
And now you're just forgotten love I'll never look back

So I, I take it back, I take it back now
I, I take it back, I take it all back, back
I take it back, I take it back now
If she never loved me then I'm better off alone, yeah

I, I take it back, I take it back now
I, I take it back, I take it all back, back
I take it back, I take it back now
If she never loved me then I'm better off alone, yeah

I, I take it back, I take it back now
I, I take it back, I take it all back, back
I take it back, I take it back now
If she never loved me then I'm better off alone, yeah
