Take Me Back

written by vanessa collier

Under the guise of a kind heart

And the warmth of a soft-spoken soul

You’ve got everyone fooled

False humility, it’s all for show

Quite a few are under your spell

But I know you too well

I used to trace the trail of kisses up my wrist

Used to love your hands on mine

Every breath rattlin’ my ribcage

Every beat of my heart countin’ your lies

I used to be under your spell

But I know you too well

Take me back to brighter days

Take me back to dancin’ in my room

Take me back to the beginnin’

Before I ever, I ever knew you

I’ve been dancin’ in the puddles of light

Watchin’ you make your next move

The cracks are splinterin’ your porcelain mask

Stressed from the weight of the truth

There’s no more power in your spell

‘Cause I know you too well

Take me back to brighter days

Take me back to dancin’ in my room

Take me back to the beginnin’

Before I ever, I ever knew you

Take me back to brighter days

Take me back to dancin’ in my room

Take me back to the beginnin’

Before I ever, I ever knew you

Before I ever, ever met you

(Take me back before I ever knew you)

(Take me back before I ever knew you)
