Takes
Lyrics
[verse]
I heard he took her dancing underneath the pier lights,
Twirling her the way he used to twirl me on those nights.
I dried my eyes a hundred times and told myself I'm fine,
But something in me softened when I saw that look of mine.
[chorus]
Now it's her turn to wonder, her turn to wait by the phone,
Her turn to learn what it feels like being left alone.
I'm not glad, but I won't lie, there's a small relief inside,
Now that she knows how it burns when love just drifts and dies.
[verse]
He came back walking slowly with his jacket on his arm,
Said he missed my laughter more than any borrowed charm.
I could turn away forever, prove that I don't care,
But my heart still remembers every promise we could share.
[chorus]
Now it's her turn to wonder, her turn to wait by the phone,
Her turn to learn what it feels like being left alone.
I'm not glad, but I won't lie, there's a small relief inside,
Now that she knows how it burns when love just drifts and dies.
[bridge]
Funny how the tables spin so quiet and so fast,
Yesterday's tomorrow becomes somebody's past.
I'll take him back, forgive him, let the old hurt go,
'Cause I finally understand what she needs to know.
[chorus]
Now it's her turn to wonder, her turn to wait by the phone,
Her turn to learn what it feels like being left alone.
I'm not glad, but I won't lie, there's a small relief inside,
Now that she knows how it burns when love just drifts and dies.
