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
