I Take It Back

[Verse 1]

I take it back

You're goin' down

I've had enough of you draggin' all of my shame around

I take it back

You're gonna bruise

'Cause I got somethin' you don't, I got nothin' to lose

[Chorus]

You had my trust

I gave you that

I gave you that

Gave you my power

But I take it back

I take it back

[Verse 2]

You don't remember

But I can't forget

So I'm gatherin' up everythin' I ever tried to suppress

Now I'm a walkin' weapon

A bleedin' history book

I see you closin' your eyes but I'm gonna make you look

[Chorus]

'Cause you had my heart

I gave you that

I gave you that

Gave you my power

But I take it back

I'm takin' it back

[Bridge]

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

The power to speak my mind without attack

To hold my head high and shoulders back

The power to turn this table 'round

To stand up when you want me down

The power to choose what's right for me

For my future, for my family

The power to burn these filthy walls

I take it back

I take it all

My light, my dark, my fire, my spark

My story, my vision, my choices, my decisions

Count the minutes, count the hours

I'm takin' back my power

[Outro]

And when I take it back

You're gonna wish you treated me better than that
