Take back all those kisses that you stole from me
Take back mister and misses to your family
Can't take broken dishes when we fight all day, hey
Take back all best wishes, did I hear you say
We were shooting for the sun
I guess the darkness finally won
Take it back, take it back
All that love has done
Take back the sweetest memories I have ever known
Take back the blood you let me get out of this stone
I can't take another minute of this misery, no
Take back what we got in it, lord it's killing me
We were shooting for the sun
I guess the darkness finally won
Take it back, take it back
All that love has done
We were shooting for the sun
I guess the darkness finally won
Take back, take it back
All that love has done
Take it back, take it back
All that love has done
Take it back, take it back
Take it back baby
Well...
We were shooting for the sun
