Lyrics Taking Myself Back - Red Sky July, Mark Neary, Shelly McErlaine

Taking Myself Back

There was a time when you had one hundred percent of my heart
There was nothing I wouldn’t do to be your everything
I gave til there was no me, just a girl trying to play this heart
I know I wasn’t born to be your puppet on a string
I gave enough and now I’m gone
Driving off with the radio on
Left your note on a runaway breeze
You keep the house and the memories
Makin' tracks that you can’t trace
I threw the ring in the fireplace
I fed the dog even left you the cat
But I’m taking myself back
Go have a real good life
And tell yourself that it’s all my fault
As I wave in my rearview mirror, til you disappear
Yes I gave enough and now I’m gone
Driving off with the radio on
Left your note on a runaway breeze
You keep the house and the memories
Makin tracks that you can’t trace
I threw the ring in the fireplace
I fed the dog even left you the cat
But I’m taking myself back
There was a time (there was a time)
When you were all that mattered
Those days are gone (those days are gone)
And that’s enough of that
Yeah I’m taking myself back
(I gave enough) I gave enough and now I’m gone (and now I’m gone)
Driving off with the radio on
Left your note on a runaway breeze
You keep the house and the memories
(I'm making tracks) Makin tracks that you can’t trace (that you can’t trace)
I threw the ring in the fireplace
I fed the dog even left you the cat
But I’m taking myself back, taking myself back
