Lyrics I Take It Back - Missy Higgins

I Take It Back

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
