Taking Myself Back - Red Sky July, Mark Neary, Shelly McErlaine

There was a time when you had one hundred percent of my heart

There was nothing I wouldn’t do to be your everything

I gave til there was no me, just a girl trying to play this heart

I know I wasn’t born to be your puppet on a string

I gave enough and now I’m gone

Driving off with the radio on

Left your note on a runaway breeze

You keep the house and the memories

Makin' tracks that you can’t trace

I threw the ring in the fireplace

I fed the dog even left you the cat

But I’m taking myself back

Go have a real good life

And tell yourself that it’s all my fault

As I wave in my rearview mirror, til you disappear

Yes I gave enough and now I’m gone

Driving off with the radio on

Left your note on a runaway breeze

You keep the house and the memories

Makin tracks that you can’t trace

I threw the ring in the fireplace

I fed the dog even left you the cat

But I’m taking myself back

There was a time (there was a time)

When you were all that mattered

Those days are gone (those days are gone)

And that’s enough of that

Yeah I’m taking myself back

(I gave enough) I gave enough and now I’m gone (and now I’m gone)

Driving off with the radio on

Left your note on a runaway breeze

You keep the house and the memories

(I'm making tracks) Makin tracks that you can’t trace (that you can’t trace)

I threw the ring in the fireplace

I fed the dog even left you the cat

But I’m taking myself back, taking myself back
