Backbone

Verse 1

You walk in smiling like you own the place

Pockets full of promises I never see the face

Every time I turn around you're reaching for my hand

Draining every dollar till I'm standing on bare land

Pre-Chorus

I gave you all my mornings

You gave back the night

Chorus

You take my money put me down

Give me nothing in return

I've been spinning in this town

Watchin' every lesson learn

Well the well is running dry

And I finally see it clear

Time to take back me

Time to take back me

Post-Chorus

Take it back

Take it back

Oh I'm taking back me

Verse 2

You called me weak but I just stayed

Gave you every penny that I ever made

Now the ledger's heavy and the road is long

But I've got a backbone that was there all along

Pre-Chorus

I gave up my whole heart

You kept all the scars

Chorus

You take my money put me down

Give me nothing in return

I've been spinning in this town

Watchin' every lesson learn

Well the well is running dry

And I finally see it clear

Time to take back me

Time to take back me

Post-Chorus

Take it back

Take it back

Oh I'm taking back me

Bridge

No more shaking hands with lies

No more walking blind

What you borrowed I reclaim

Starting one last time

Chorus

You take my money put me down

Give me nothing in return

I've been spinning in this town

Watchin' every lesson learn

Well the well is running dry

And I finally see it clear

Time to take back me

Time to take back me

Post-Chorus

Take it back

Take it back

Oh I'm taking back me
