I Take Back

{V-1} In the darkness of my mind Where your image fades away Your memories all I find As my tears fall today {V-2} The note you left for me Has sorrow in every line Through black and white I see You erased me from your mind {Chorus} I take back all those words Those words that broke your heart I take back those nights Those nights you cried alone I take back those words of pain Those words that made us part {V-3} Today those flowers in the window Are wilted and turning brown Your picture on the mantel Has me praying you'll turn around {V-4} When I see your red silk nightie My tears start again Oh darling I'm on my knees and my minds on memory lane {Chorus} I take back all those words Those words that broke your heart I take back all those nights Those nights you cried alone I take back those words of pain Those words that made us part
