Now we're back on speaking terms again
But how long do we wait to watch things get out of hand?
I'm losing my patience, you're losing the girl
What am I supposed to do?
Let me tell you something, so listen up
Let me tell you something, so listen up

What kind of face should I wear today?
The strong one? The sad one? Mr. "I'm okay"?
My God, listen to me
You'd think I was the one
And now

I need you to focus, to focus, on my words
I know you're trying, know you're trying, I know
But I've got to do this for myself

Come on, I'm getting so frustrated
I wish I had the words to convince you not to feel this way
Well, I appreciate the effort
I knew you were
I'll just take things a day at a time
It's the best you can do and you know it
It's the best you can do and you know it

Take it back, take it all back, take it back

What kind of face should I wear today?
The strong one? The sad one? Mr. "I'm okay"?
My God, listen to me
You'd think I was the one
And now

I need you to focus, to focus, on my words
I know you're trying, know you're trying, I know
But I've got to do this for myself
I need you to focus, to focus, on my words
I know you're trying, know you're trying, I know
But I've got to do this for myself

Take it back, take it all
