音乐咖啡厅:Taylor Henderson - Taking Back

The mind games you play don't work no more.
Like a thousand times, before.
You've crossed the line this time I just can't ignore.
Tell me the truth, what was it for.

Your words were dressed to impress
Designed to supress your voice.
You think keeping me down
Will help you do like yourself some more.

You thought I'd never find the truth you hide.
You're the one who had me under your thumb last time.
How could I be so blind, to your games and lies.
Is it such a crime¹ to be taking back what's mine.

Taking back what's mine
I won't be denied²
It's my time to rise.
Taking back what's mine
I won't be denied
It's my time to rise.

Still trying to find the reasons why.
Always left me, high and dry.
I can't go on pretending³ it's alright.
So tell me the truth, in black and white.

Your words were dressed to impress
Designed to supress your voice.
You think keeping me down
Will you do like yourself some more.

You thought I'd never find the truth you hide.
You're the one who had me under your thumb last time.
How could I be so blind, to your games and lies.
Is it such a crime to be taking back what's mine.

Taking back what's mine
I won't be denied
It's my time to rise.
Taking back what's mine
I won't be denied
It's my time to rise.

Taking back what's mine
I won't be denied
It's my time to rise.
Taking back what's mine
I won't be denied
It's my time to rise.

Taking back what's mine, I won't be denied, it's my time to rise.
