Lyrics
Can't Take It Back - Written By Laura Roppé
I was thinking about you the other day
About the time we went to LA on the train
We laughed so hard it was hard to breathe
Now I don't remember why I had to leave
A few years older, lots of learning done
Thinking 'bout the time you sang a song for me
I laughed so hard it was hard to breathe
You called it love, I called it naive
Can't take it back now
Can't make it go away
Can't remember the reason
Why didn't I stay?
Can't take it back now
Can't make it go away
Can't remember the reason
Why didn't I stay?
I wonder about your sense of wonder
You made me feel so wonderful
You made me laugh so hard, hard
Forgot my heart was full of scars
On the porch with the sofa outside
Told me all about the stars in the sky
You held my hand, tears were in my eyes
I picked that night to say good-bye
CHORUS
You always said love is like breathing
And breathing should come naturally
You always said love is so easy
But you're not me, no I can't breathe
You held my hand, tears were in my eyes
I picked that night to say to good-bye
CHORUS
