Take It Back

© 2014 Mark Cote

give a kiss and you take it back
take it back
take it back
take it back

say you're a friend and you take it back
take it back
take it back
take it back

(chorus) take it back
                 was it worth it anyway
                 when a love I thought was real
                 when I just learned how to feel
                 recoils cold in my hand
                 like the sea pulls from the sand
                 when all you do is
                 take it back

give a gift and you take it back
take it back
take it back
take it back

never know what you could’ve had if you take it back
take it back
take it back
take it back

(chorus)

one day
when your conscience clears
your heart will cry
alligator tears
for the ones who could’ve cared
are no longer here
can't take it back

(chorus)
