Lyrics

Everything I’ve ever done for you is lost and gone and it won’t come back It won’t come back Affections come and roll right off your shoulders turn away it’s like you’re sleeping But you’re not sleeping So I cling onto this tightness in my gut And I find it strangely saccharine Like tasting just a little bit of blood Why so sweet to play the victim in this crooked mind Distracted by another kind of villain So take it back, just take it back now Let’s take it back to where we both belong Cuz we can’t win, no we can’t win, no We can’t win for fear of losing So take it back, just take it back now Now, now, now, now Words we always echoed from our mouths and from our hearts have been revolting revolting They hang up in the sticky air between us, ostentatious in their meaning and demeaning This battle may have only just begun So is this all that I can muster? But staring with you straight into the sun All this time has made me weary of another one Praying I won’t soon become your villain Remember what you know Remember all the happy homes we built Remember why we’re here It’s nothing like a rolling stone gone still And maybe you’re right Maybe there aint nothin’ that happens for a reason A reason But I got plenty right here We both got plenty right here So take it back, just take it back now Please, take it back to where we both belong Take it back, just take it back now Take it back to where we both belong Cuz we can’t win, no we can’t win, no We can’t win for fear of losing
