I recall watching your fingers play tactual melodies
Tracing the constellation of an umbrella on my arm
Trying on furs and practicing words that we’d never said

I recall driving all day and not going anywhere
Wandering aimlessly and waiting impatiently at the mall

Choosing my words to barely obscure my embarrassment

Blaming myself for trying to live in a narrative
Wondering how many days it would take it to fall apart
Alternate feelings of wishing and thinking I had it all
Lying awake waiting for morning to come

I dedicated my whole life to her thinking that we were through
I dedicated my whole life to her thinking that we were through

...taking back love, we're taking back
we're taking back love, and we're taking back love, and we're taking back love
we're taking back love,and we're taking back love, and we're taking back taking back
we're taking back love, we're taking back love

taking back love, taking back love, and I'm taking back love, taking back love and I'm taking back love, I'm taking back love, and I'm...
