Take You Back

Who do you think you are?
When do you think this is?
Talking to me last night
like last year never happened.
So now you can take the blame,
so now you can see my worth.
I think you're just lonely,
and I don't know what's worse.
That we're back at this point,
you think you want to be let in,
or that I wouldn't bet against you
though you never want the things you win.

If I take you back
it means I didn't learn a thing.
If I take you back
why'd I do all that crying?
All the moving on,
and the getting over,
the nights I couldn't stand
to keep myself sober.
What was the meaning of that,
if I take you back?

If all your clouds are dark,
if you're feeling kind of low.
Could you save us both trouble,
and just shut your mouth, and go.
I've been your cheerleader,
and you dropped me in the air.
So this time, don't mind me,
but I'm sticking to a chair.
So if you please, say your piece,
and don't expect much from me,
every part of my body
is reacting with a warning.

If I take you back
it means I didn't learn a thing.
If I take you back
why'd I do all that crying?
All the moving on
and the getting over
the nights I couldn't stand
to keep myself sober.
What was the meaning of that,
if I take you back?

If only you weren't funny,
If only you weren't on my mind.
I feel such a pull to you,
like I'm just biding time,
Until I can get back you,
and it's hard to fight it off.
I don't think I should feel
the way I do, that you're enough.
I've played this game, I lost this war
on my hearts grave, I fucking swore,
just to dig it up and give it back
does anybody even do that?

If I take you back
it means I didn't learn a thing.
If I take you back
why'd I do all that crying?
All the moving on
and the getting over
the nights I couldn't stand
to keep myself sober.
What was the meaning of that,
if I take you back?
