paroles de chanson Take Me Back - Jones

Who was I before I told myself I wasn't worth it
Before I spent my time obsessed tryna find my purpose
Worried I'd be seen as worthless if I wasn't perfect
Looked at happiness and told myself I don't deserve it
Before I was beaten up and damaged as a person
Kept it secret God forbid they knew that I was hurting
Before I put on the mask to act like I was perfect
That was my disguise
I don't think its working
Back when life was full of wonder and imagination
I was a superhero in the world that I created
Saved the city from the monsters that I was steady slaying
Then I got older and the monsters in my mind invaded
Before reality came and took my dreams and tried to break 'em
Laughed at all my expectations said I was mistaken
Said life ain't what you make it, it belongs to those who made it
So ain't no point in having dreams cuz someones bound to Take 'em, right

Back when I hoped there was hope
Back when I hoped there was hope

Take Me Back, Back now
Take me back back, take me back back

Back in the days where I'd sit back in my room and play
Main concern was if my mom would let me stay up late
When I ain't have to worry bout the bills I gotta pay
Could relax cuz tomorrows just another day
Back when I thought when I grow up life is gon' be great
I can conquer anything once my mind was made
Back before I knew the world would be so full of snakes
And they'd do anything to pull me down along the way
Back before I overthought the words that people say
Living Dry meant to stay inside because of rain
So Scared to fail and disappoint that if it's what it takes
I'll Work myself into an early grave if it means people stay
Before I struggled with these battles with mental obsession
Was too young to understand the concept of depression
Before I worried if I'm sad then everyone would blame me
Don't ask me why, that's just a lie my mind is claiming

I dunno what's going on, maybe there's something wrong
In my skull, if I'm not involved then I'm scared I'll bomb
Wish I could turn back the clock, dump the sands of time in jars
Always scared I don't have long, for' it comes and stops my heart
I could write a hundred songs and feel like it's not enough
Am I moving forward or am I just being dragged along
Stop the ride I need to pause, stop the ride I need to pause

Back when I hoped there was hope
Back when I hoped there was hope

Take Me Back, Back now
Take me back back, take me back back
