Take Me Back Again

I know I swore that I was leaving,

But I just couldn’t say goodbye.

I was tangled up in my deceiving,

To walk away from someone who

Still means the very world, my life, to me.

You learn from every tear and day,

I’ve learned, and now I’ve come to stay.

Take me back again,

Please, take me back again.

Think of all the love we knew,

Let me start with you.

We can have it all,

A chance to mend the pain.

Just forgive me,

Or I’ll break—

Take me back again.

I was such a fool to doubt you,

To think I’d make it all alone.

There’s no meaning here without you,

Now all I do is count the cost

Of every chance I had but lost.

To beg is not a simple song,

But pride has never led me strong.

Take me back again,

Oh, take me back again.

Think of how it used to be,

Darling, can’t you see?

We could find it still,

In spite of where I’ve been—

Just forgive me,

Or I’m through,

Take me back again.

Just forgive me—

Or I’ll die…

Take me back again.
