[Intro - spoken, flat and hard, drums already going] Four thirty. Nah, I'm up. I'm good. I said what I said and I meant every word of it. [Verse 1] You got me out here lookin' crazy Ridin' past your mama's house at one You had two years to say one honest thing to me And you gave 'em all to somebody else So don't call me obsessed You built this You handed me that key and never once asked for it back So who's the fool in this [Pre-Chorus] Every name you called me tonight Is a name you taught me how to be So before you go and tell it your way [Chorus] Take it back Every forever you said with my shirt on Take it back Every plate you made me, every light you left on If none of it was real Then take all of it back Take it back [Verse 2] You ain't even have the decency to lie good Left the second cup sittin' right there on the counter Told me traffic Told me work Told me somethin' 'bout your sister and a flat And I nodded like a fool 'Cause believin' you was easier than countin' [Pre-Chorus] So don't stand there in my head and cry Don't you get soft on me now I ain't nowhere near done [Chorus] Take it back Every forever you said with my shirt on Take it back Every plate you made me, every light you left on If none of it was real Then take all of it back Take it back [Bridge - drums cut completely, half time, one Rhodes, spoken] ... Who am I talkin' to? Look around. Ain't nobody in this house but me. I'm standin' in my own kitchen at four thirty in the mornin' Yellin' at a woman who ain't even here. [Bridge - sung, still half time, bass creeps back in] And every word I just said I'd trade all of it for a phone call Every hard thing out my mouth Was just the scared thing wearin' a jacket I take it back I take it back [Final Chorus - drums return quieter, no modulation, voice cracked] Take it back No, I take it back Every ugly thing I said before that Take it back I don't want nothin' returned I want you to keep it all Just keep it Just keep it [Outro - two bars, then hard cut mid-word] Just keep
