Lyrics
VERSE 1
You took the keys to the pick-up
You took my credit card
You took my initialed coffee cup
You took the dog from my back yard
VERSE 2
You took the cash from our bank account
You took our wedding bands
You took our nights out on the town
You took all of our new friends
CHORUS
Don't try to return what you've taken
Can't you see you've set me free
If you think you'll get back you're dreamin'
You took everything but me
Everything but me
VERSE 3
You took all your dirty laundry
You took the bad plans we'd made
You took those crocodile tears
I'm so lucky you've gone a(D)way
CHORUS
BRIDGE
You must have thought when you'd left me?
That you'd taken everything from me.
But my heart is all that matters
There's no we there's only me
CHORUS
TAG
REPEAT LAST LINE
