Georgekenneth Martin Poet Lyric

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
