I don't know
Where I left my drink last night
I put it down
With my phone and my dignity
Best friend's party
The same date every summer
But you never spoke a word to me

Paid the toll to get over it
Got the scars to cover up
The pain you left me in
Took me years to get over it
Took me years
'Till I could see
Your face without breaking

So don't come back
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me I was blind
There could've been more
Don't come back and haunt me
Pretending that we're fine
You stood unharmed with my heart
But I'm taking it back tonight

Charismatic green globes in your eyes
Everybody's enamoured
I'm running for my life
I've been lost
In that meadow too many times

Got me searching
For places I used to know
I'm lost in familiar
Faces I used to know
Got me questioning
What we had before
If we ever had anything at all

Don't come back
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me I was blind
There could've been more
Don't come back and haunt me
Pretending that we're fine
You stood there armed with my heart
But I'm taking it back

Tonight, we can reconcile
On the cities we built
All the buildings
That you burned down
Beneath statues of guilt
I'll rebuild mine alone
I'm ready to let you go

So don't come back
Don't tell me you loved me
Don't tell me I was blind
There could've been more
Don't come back and haunt me
Pretending that we're fine
For 18 years you've held my heart
But I'm taking it back, tonight

But I'm taking it back, tonight
