I Take It Back
[Verse 1]
I take it back
You're goin' down
I've had enough of you draggin' all of my shame around
I take it back
You're gonna bruise
'Cause I got somethin' you don't, I got nothin' to lose

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
You don't remember
But I can't forget
So I'm gatherin' up everythin' I ever tried to suppress
Now I'm a walkin' weapon
A bleedin' history book
I see you closin' your eyes but I'm gonna make you look

[Chorus]
'Cause you had my heart
I gave you that
I gave you that
Gave you my power
But I take it back
I'm takin' it back
[Bridge]
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
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 takin' back my power

[Outro]
And when I take it back
You're gonna wish you treated me better than that
