Takes My Life

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 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 to 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!
