[Intro]
I want you back within my heart
Lettin' go was the hardest part
Oh, take me back into your heart
Lettin' go was the hardest part

[Verse 1]
Possessive love can never be right
And I found out the other night
You never gave me a reason to doubt
I was afraid when you walked out
I should've held back, but I felt my pride
Was welling up inside of me
And now you're gone

[Chorus]
I held too tight and you went away
Come back to my heart (I want you back within my heart
Letting go was the hardest part)
I'd give my all just to hear you say:
"Take me back to your heart" (oh, take me back into your heart
Letting go was the hardest part)

[Verse 2]
Two hearts are better when they stay free
That's what you always said to me
Don't try to own or you will destroy
That very thing that brought you joy
My fantasy made a fool out of me
I always thought I was so strong
And now you're gone
[Chorus]
I held too tight and you went away
Come back to my heart (I want you back within my heart
Letting go was the hardest part)
I'd give my all just to hear you say:
"Take me back to your heart" (oh, take me back into your heart
Letting go was the hardest part)
I held too tight and you went away
Come back to my heart (I want you back within my heart
Letting go was the hardest part)
I'd give my all just to hear you say:
"Take me back to your heart" (oh, take me back into your heart
Letting go was the hardest part)

[Bridge]
I think I finally understand
I let the reins slip through my hand
I held too tight
A caged bird always wants to fly
Letting go was the hardest part
I think I finally understand
I let the reins slip through my hand
I held too tight
A caged bird always wants to fly

[Chorus/outro]
I held too tight and you went away
Come back to my heart (I want you back within my heart
Letting go was the hardest part)
I'd give my all just to hear you say:
"Take me back to your heart" (oh, take me back into your heart
Letting go was the hardest part)
I held too tight and you went away
Come back to my heart (I want you back within my heart
Letting go was the hardest part)
I'd give my all just to hear you say:
"Take me back to your heart" (oh, take me back into your heart
Letting go was the hardest part)
I held too tight and you went away
Come back to my heart (I want you back within my heart
Letting go was the hardest part)
I'd give my all just to hear you say:
"Take me back to your heart..."
