I Take It Back
Heartfelt Confession: I Take It Back by Sandy Posey
Lyrics
Here he comes now
Anticipation and recognition of someone's arrival
I've got to tell him somehow
Feeling the need to communicate something to him
I could put it off 'til later
Considering postponing the conversation
But it's best I do it now
Deciding it's better to address the issue immediately
Baby, listen to me there is something I must try to say
Expressing the importance of a conversation and the need to speak
I've put it off so long but I've decided that today is the day
Acknowledging a delay in addressing the topic but deciding today is the day
My love for you is dying
Revealing a decline in love for the person
Oh no, please don't start crying
Pleading for emotional restraint and not wanting the person to cry
I take it back
Expressing regret and retracting a statement or action
I didn't mean it
Denying the sincerity of a previous statement
Please forget the things I said
Begging for forgiveness and asking to forget hurtful words
I take it back
Reiterating the retraction of a previous statement
I'm sorry
Expressing remorse and apologizing
I must have been out
Admitting to confusion or irrationality in the past
Of my head
Acknowledging a lapse in judgment or emotional stability
He's such a man
Describing the person as strong and resilient
It must have hurt him a lot
Suggesting potential emotional pain endured by the person
If he let me see him cry
Contemplating the emotional impact of seeing the person cry
But I must try again
Expressing determination to try again
This time I'll say goodbye
Deciding to say goodbye in the upcoming attempt
Baby, you've been good to me you've always been the best you could
Acknowledging the person's goodness and past kindness
So try to understand me now the way you've always understood
Requesting understanding based on past experiences
I can't go on another day
Expressing an inability to continue the current situation
Oh, please, don't look at me that way
Pleading not to be judged or looked at with disapproval
I take it back
Repeating the retraction of a previous statement
I didn't mean it
Emphasizing the insincerity of a previous statement
Please forget what I just said
Asking to overlook and forget the recent words
I take it back
Reiterating the retraction of a previous statement
I'm sorry
Apologizing again for the previous statement
I must have been out
Admitting to a momentary lapse of reason or sanity
Of my head
Acknowledging a state of emotional confusion or distress
Sometimes it's better to be loved
Reflecting on the value of being loved rather than being the one in love
Than it is to love
Expressing a general perspective on the dynamics of love
