I Take It Back - Missy Higgins

I take it back

You’re going down

I’ve had enough of you dragging all of my shame around

I take it back

You’re gonna bruise

Cos I got something you don’t, I got nothing to lose

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

You don’t remember

But I can’t forget

So I’m gathering up everything I ever tried to suppress

Now I’m a walking weapon

A bleeding history book

I see you closing your eyes but I’m gonna make you look

Cos you had my heart

I gave you that

I gave you that

Gave you my power

But I take it back

I’m taking it back

Ooooh

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 taking back my power

And when I take it back

You’re gonna wish you treated me better than that
