I see the day I met you
I go there in my mind
You were tall like my father
And your eyes were kind
I was the girl
No one wanted to hold
Too big, too weird, too much
It gets old

Frightened of empty faces
And hungry for your touch
And in all of my phases
You said I was enough
I know it's true
It will never be you
I feel, so lost, without

The gift
And I can't take you back

The gift
And I can't take you back
You're everything I had
Yet you were never mine
I can't run but I can hide
The gift
You're the rip in my heart
And it's tearing me apart
I can't forget the fact
You're a gift and I can't take you back

You said I was your favorite
Your star in every life
And even though I hate it
You made me love the light
Tied between two
My heart made me choose
I know, I'll never, have

The gift
And I can't take you back
You're everything I had
Yet you were never mine
I can't run but I can hide
The gift
You're the rip in my heart
And it's tearing me apart
I can't forget the fact
You're a gift and I can't take you back

Back, back
Back

The present I can't have
The rip in my heart
The star
That we both know
Tore me apart
I know
If you come back
I won't say no
I won't say no

To the gift
Oh I can't take you back
You're a star
And you tore me apart
He's the prize
A man of many lies
There was never enough time
Every day I'm learning that there is no returning
You're a gift
And I can't take you back
