You Had Me
[Intro]
You had me, you lost me
You're wasted, you cost me
I don't want you here
Messing with my mind

[Verse 1]
Spittin' in my eyes and I still see
Tried to keep me down, I'm breakin' free
I don't want no part in your next fix
Someone needs to tell you this is it

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, listen, you'll be missin' out on my love and my kissin'
Make your mistakes on your own time
When you come down, you're just no good to have around
Instead of makin' money, you took mine

[Chorus]
You had me, you lost me
You're wasted, you cost me
I don't want you here
Messing with my mind
I've realised in time
That my eyes are not blind
I've seen it before
I'm taking back my life
[Verse 2]
You tried to trade on my naïveté
But the things you do and say embarrass me
See, once upon a time, I was your fool
But the one I leave behind, he is you

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, listen, you'll be missin' out on my love and my kissin'
Make your mistakes on your own time
When you come down, you're just no good to have around
Instead of makin' money, you took mine

[Chorus]
You had me, you lost me
You're wasted, you cost me
I don't want you here
Messing with my mind
I've realised in time
That my eyes are not blind
I've seen it before
I'm taking back my life

[Bridge]
Vodka and a packet of cigarettes
That's all it used to be, but, now
You're sniffin' on snow when you're feelin' low
Suffocatin' dreams that could have
Maybe, for a minute, I'd be down with that
But it didn't take long for me to see the light
You swore you had control of it
When I stepped back, you slipped on your supply
Mhm
[Chorus]
You had me, you lost me
You're wasted, you cost me
I don't want you here
Messing with my mind, no
I've realised in time
That my eyes are not blind
I've seen it before
I'm taking back my life

[Post-Chorus]
Taking it back, I'm taking it back
Taking back my life
Taking it back, I'm taking it back
Taking back my life
Ain't nobody got no business
Stressing all the time
Taking it back, I'm taking it back
Taking back my life

[Chorus]
You had me, you lost me
You're wasted, you cost me
I don't want you here
Messing with my mind, oh
I've realised in time
That my eyes are not blind
I've seen it before
I'm taking back my life
[Post-Chorus]
Taking it back, I'm taking it back
Taking back my life
Taking it back, I'm taking it back
Taking back my life
Ain't nobody got no business (Yeah)
Stressing all the time (Yeah, yeah)
Taking it back, I'm taking it back
I'm taking back my life
