If I knew it would end like this, would I take it back?
Would I stop the pain before it would attack?
Would I go back in time and right this wrong,
Knowing you wouldn't be here for long?

Should I have put down the phone, not say a thing,
Knowing what the future would bring.
Should I stop that risk knowing I soon would fall?
Knowing you didn't feel the same at all.

Would I take it back
Oh should I take it back...?

Every hug, every kiss, every word to me,
Was it everything I wanted it to be?
Every joke, every laugh, every cheesy rhyme,
Was it all just a waste of time?

Do I take it all back because they are no more?
Knowing all you need to do is just explore.
Do I take it all back to stop every tear?
Knowing that you would not be near.

Oh I wanna take it back...
But no I can't take it back...

Cuz every adventure, every story had it's meaning,
I can't tear them from my heart that's still beating.
Every chat, every fight had a lesson to learn,
I can't be who I am without each bruise and burn.

I can't take back the feeling of your embrace,
Even when tears are streaming down my face.
I can't take back the feeling of being alive,
Even though my heart was torn by a knife.

I lived, I loved, I learned, I lost,
The memories gained came with a cost.
But I can't take back what's now a part of me,
A part of who I am meant to be.

Everything I want to take back will make me stronger,
Even on the days I can't take the pain much longer.
One day I'll be fine and back on track,
Using everything so next time,
Yeah next time...
I won't wanna take it back.
