Taken By Dawn

Lời bài hát

[Verse 1] You packed the van at dawn While the kids were still asleep You left my ring on the counter Like it never meant a thing I heard his name in your phone Like a knife through my chest Now the house feels hollow And I can't catch my breath [Pre-Chorus] You said, "Don't make this hard" Like I had a choice I stood there with my hands tied Trying to find my voice Then you took the picture frames And the last of my pride Now every room in this place Feels like a goodbye [Chorus] You took my kids You took my home Now I'm half a man And I know it I loved you once Now I hate your name You took my kids And you burned my flame (You took my kids) [Verse 2] I still see your boots by the door And your jacket on the chair I still set out three plates Then remember you're not there He gets the smile I used to know I get the slammed front gate You taught my heart to trust you Then you left it full of hate [Pre-Chorus] Don't tell me it's for the best Don't say the past is dead You made a war inside me Where a family used to live I wake up with your shadow At the foot of my bed And every promise we made Turns into lead [Chorus] You took my kids You took my home Now I'm half a man And I know it I loved you once Now I hate your name You took my kids And you burned my flame (You took my kids) [Verse 3] I got your voice in my head And your lies on repeat I got a court date coming And your new man's grinning at me You say I'm bitter, baby No, I'm bleeding out loud I was the one who stayed here While you chased the crowd [Bridge] I don't miss the poison I miss who you used to be The girl in the kitchen laughing With our boys on my knees Now I'm standing in the wreckage Trying not to break Love turned into a hammer And it hit me in the face [Breakdown] Take the ring Take the blame Take the nights I can't reclaim I loved you once I won't again You left with my children You left me to bend [Final Chorus] You took my kids You took my home Now I'm half a man And I know it I loved you once Now I hate your name You took my kids And you burned my flame You took my kids I still feel that pain You took my kids And you made me this way (You took my kids)
