[Verse 1]
I said things I can't erase
Left a bruise across your face
Not a mark, just in your heart
That’s the part that breaks me apart
I keep replaying every word
Mean as hell, and cruelly heard
Now the silence eats the room
And I'm haunted by what I do
[Pre-Chorus]
I know sorry ain't enough
When my tongue was sharp and rough
But baby, I can't let you go
Not with all this love I know
[Chorus]
I can't take it back
I can't take it back
But I love you, I miss you
Oh, I miss you back
I can't take it back
I can't take it back
If you let me in again
I'll be better than I was back then
[Verse 2]
Your sweater still hangs by the door
Like a ghost I can't ignore
And your name still fills my mouth
Every time I turn around
I was blind, I was pride
I let that anger run my life
Now I’m down on bended knee
Praying you’ll come back to me
[Pre-Chorus]
I know sorry ain't enough
When my tongue was sharp and rough
But baby, hear me when I say
I still love you every day
[Chorus]
I can't take it back
I can't take it back
But I love you, I miss you
Oh, I miss you back
I can't take it back
I can't take it back
If you let me in again
I'll be better than I was back then
[Bridge]
If you need time, take it slow
If you need truth, then let me show
I was wrong, I know that now
Let me make it right somehow
[Final Chorus]
I can't take it back
I can't take it back
But I love you, I miss you
Oh, I miss you back
I can't take it back
I can't take it back
If you let me in again
I'll be better than I was back then
Oh, I miss you back
(Oh, I miss you back)
