Takes My Life

(album: One And Done - 2006)

I've written and erased your name a thousand ways in my book
I've tried to be unkind, maybe cause you to rewind
And take a good hard look
I try to take a stand, but it seems to never end in this place
I'm gnawed down to bone, by the time I get alone
Do I even know my own face

You confuse me, and correct me
And it's fine, 'til someone takes my life

I've caught you in the act, I fought to bring you back to my eyes
I've left it all alone, saying, "Someday you'll come home" in my mind
The other side of the fence always seems to bend to your view
And I'm trying too hard, so I'll just leave my card with you

You confuse me, and correct me
It's fine, 'til someone takes my life
And then you'll break me, and remake me
It's still fine, until you take my life

Get back
Hey, hey, hey
Oh, get back
Then you'll take it, and reshape it
Oh, just tell me I'm fine, fine, fine
You confuse me, and correct me, you correct me
And tell me I'm fine, fine, fine
Until you take, you take, you take, you take
Then you break me
And remake me
Oh, tell me I'm fine, fine, fine
Until you take my life

Get back
Get back
