Backbrace

When I think about the life I could've led
All the times I could have fought that I fled
Every answer to every question you ever asked me
All the things I could've done
Should've done instead

I take it back
I take it all back
I take the promises I made that made me weak

I can't change the way I waited for your kiss
The way you swayed me with the twisting of your wrist
But I can break and I can fade and when I fall anew
I will see that I deserve much more than this

So I take it back
I take it all back
I take the promises I made that made me weak
'Cause I had your back
But when it all packed a punch
You had nothing but my heart between your teeth

I have crushed myself to powder for a flame
Ignited every bone and called the ash my fame
A sad surrender and never trusting of any part of me
All I ever got from diffidence is pain

So I take it back
I take those promises back
I take them back and make one to myself instead
I will be brash
I will be more than my past
I will recognize that I've been more than most have asked
I will be tall
I will not prophesy my falls
And when it comes to love, I will not break my back

I will not break my back
