I Want It Back (Survive You pt. ii) Lyrics

I wished you away

But you stayed inside of my scars

I wasn't just in love with who you were

But who you are

You took my light

You took my fight

You took it and ran away with all your might

You took my peace

You took my dreams

And you grounded them in your gravity

You took everything I have

But I want it back

You came into my story like you knew you'd rewrite it all

Too bad you weren't there to hold me

You were just there to watch me fall

Over and over

Deeper and deeper

Further and further away from you

The smallest tease of glow kept me chasing your light

But I used to wish I'd never have you

'Cause then I couldn't want what wasn't mine

And if the only thing that heals is time

Why am I still waiting to be fine?

You took my light

You took my fight

You took it and ran away with all your might

You took my peace

You took my dreams

And you grounded them in your gravity

You took everything I have

But I want it back

Give it back

The fog lifted, but I still couldn't see a thing

I've learned that owning the chink in my armor

Doesn't mean I'm weak

And I know the only way over is through

But maybe letting go can mean holding loose

Maybe it's not that I won't survive you

It's that I have to want to

Maybe it's not that I won't survive you

It's that I don't want to
