Cold sensation takes over
My lapse of judgment appears
I can feel dismay’s hand on my shoulder
As he walks right over to me
We’re going to do everything we can
He says as I go to grab your hand
An empty seat is what I feel
I almost forget why we even came here
What can I take back?
My words, my actions, all of my mistakes
I beg and I plea but there’s no answer
Knockin’ down every door that I can
But what’s gunna be enough?
I cry and I pray that you will get the chance to see
Everything but what’s comin’ over me
And I stay strong, tellin’ you were gunna move on
From this
And I hold out, knowing it’s hard to resist
The dismay, so I never ask you
What can I
Ooo
What can I
Ooo
What can I
What can I take back?
My words, my actions, all of my mistakes
I beg and plea but there’s no answer
Knockin’ down every door that I can
But what’s gunna be enough?
I’m sorry there’s nothing we could do
But please know our prayers are with you
No, I scream, I need more time
I don’t even want to write the next line
What can I take back?
My words, my actions, my mistakes
I beg and plead but there’s no answer
I even tried knockin’ down every door
Still no answer
There’s nothing I can take back
My words were spoken, my actions chosen
And every mistake I made, I’m planning’ on learning from
The hand on my shoulder doesn’t belong to dismay
But her mother felt his grasp
And when she asked what she could take back?
Her mother said don’t you dare touch a piece of our past
And in her last breath, she made every bit of emotionally heart wrenching sense
Don’t worry about me, he only takes the best
That he did, when he took you from me
I want more time, and I’m still scared to write my next line
For you
But if you were here
I still wouldn’t dare to ask
What can I take back?
