[Verse 1]
I'm taking back the old me
I'm pulling him out of the dark
You're making out like you want me
But all you wanna do is talk
You're taking down your old TV
Float around amongst the stars
You don't know who you want to be
But I don't want to be a part

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me what you want, and if I'm wrong
So I can keep on running
Running, running, running
So I can keep on running

[Chorus]
Take back my own life
Back down 'cause you're running me dry
I know, I know, it's not that easy
It's not that easy
Take back my own life
Back down 'cause you're running me dry
I know, I know, it's not that easy
It's not that easy
[Verse 2]
You're like a cassette on repeat
Melted out of shape
Winding back on our old beat
But no one listens to a tape
I might have something left of you
But you're driving it away
You wanna see what I would do
I know you're tapping on a brake

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me what you want and if I'm wrong
So I can keep on running
Running, running, running
So I can keep on running
Tell me what you want and if I'm wrong
Well, I will keep on humming
Humming, humming, humming
So I can keep on humming

[Chorus]
Takin' back my own life
Back down 'cause you're running me dry
I know, I know, it's not that easy
It's not that easy
Takin' back my own life
Back down 'cause you're running me dry
I know, I know, it's not that easy
It's not that easy
[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
Take back my own life
Back down 'cause you're running me dry
I know, I kno-ow, it's not that easy

[Chorus]
Takin' back my own life
Back down 'cause you're running me dry
I know, I know, it's not that easy
It's not that easy
Takin' back my own life
Back down 'cause you're running me dry
I know, I know, it's not that easy
It's not that easy
Takin' back my own life
Back down 'cause you're running me dry
I know, I know, it's not that easy
It's not that easy
