Take back what you said.
I know it's hard to lie still with a bullet in your back,
But you've gotta take it back.

Push me in front of a train,
So my injuries won't be plain.
Pull away from a broken heart,
And take a bullet for my shock.

Stand back and watch me spiral,
"Don't touch that dial."
Colors play your face,
As you fill my empty place.

Brace yourself, it's coming faster.
"I hope that'll last her."
Hold yourself still,
With that bullet in your back,
And I've got to pack.

Got to leave,
Leave me, please.
Got to fly or you'll pry,
Pry open my heart.

Take back what you said.
I know it's hard to lie still with a bullet in your back,
But you gotta take it back.
