Take me back, take me back,
Take me back to your heart,
Can't you love me again, like you did at the start?
There's a weight on my shoulders, and I know I can't win,
Take me back, take me back again.

I would call you to plead, but I don't have the nerve,
'Cause the thing that I need, I do not deserve,
The way I was careless with your trust was a sin,
Take me back, take me back again.

If my love was fire,
It would burn this house down with all of the lies that were told,
But it's only a fever that burns me inside from the longings of a broken-down soul.

Now the wind's blowing through and it's crying for me,
'cause it knows I was not what I wanted to be,
And the sky must be sorry, 'cause it's starting to rain,
Take me back, take me back again.

If my love was fire,
It would burn this house down with all of the lies that were told,
But it's only a fever that burns me inside from the longings of a broken-down soul.

Take me back, take me back,
Take me back to your heart,
Can't you love me again, like you did at the start?
There's a weight on my shoulders, and I know I can't win,
Take me back, take me back again
