Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Birthday cake, black lace
One more candle, one more face
I used to laugh so easy
Now the room looks back at me
Sugar on my fingertips
Smoke curling off the gifts
Pretty bow, but it feels cold
Something in me just got old
[Pre-Chorus]
I saw the cracks in the glass
Saw the spell fall fast
The door was open all along
And I can't go back, I know
[Chorus]
Take me back, take me back
Before the dark knew my name
Take me back, take me back
When the world was still a game
I was bright, I was light
Now my eyes stay open wide
Take me back, take me back
To the girl I left behind
[Verse 2]
Mirror with a tired grin
Lips like a paper-thin sin
All the gifts on the table
Can't make me feel stable
I learned how sharp words bite
How trust can die in one night
I keep my heart in my hands
Like a match in the rain
[Pre-Chorus]
I saw the cracks in the glass
Saw the spell fall fast
The door was open all along
And I can't go back, I know
[Chorus]
Take me back, take me back
Before the dark knew my name
Take me back, take me back
When the world was still a game
I was bright, I was light
Now my eyes stay open wide
Take me back, take me back
To the girl I left behind
[Bridge]
If I could peel off time
Undo every jagged line
I'd save the parts that never broke
That soft little voice I used to know
But the truth is in my hands
And the floor has shifted plans
So I grieve the little one
While the night teaches me to run
[Final Chorus]
Take me back, take me back
Before the dark knew my name
Take me back, take me back
When the world was still a game
I was bright, I was light
Now my eyes stay open wide
Take me back, take me back
To the girl I left behind
[Outro]
Blow out the flame
Say my name
I won't be the same
I won't be the same
