Take You Back
Russ & Kehlani Lyrics

Take you back, who am I if I can't take the heat?
If I'm not willing to forgive and move forward, then who am I to even try to make this work?

Take you back, let's be real, 'cause you've takin' back me
We've both made mistakes in this relationship, and we've both been given second chances.

This is hard, but I love you, we fuck up, that's just life
Relationships can be difficult, but despite our mistakes, I still love you and want to make things work.

Take me back, I take you back, yeah
Let's forgive each other and move forward from our past mistakes.

Young and in love so we prone to mistakes
Because we are young and inexperienced in love, we are more likely to make mistakes.

I ain't gon' front, like I know what it takes
I won't pretend to know all the answers when it comes to making this relationship work.

'Cause I fucked up, then you fucked up
We've both made mistakes in this relationship that have caused pain and hurt.

Now, it's fucked up, goddamn
Our relationship has been damaged by our mistakes and it's difficult to navigate now.

Road a little bumpy and we just started drivin'
We are still in the early stages of our relationship and haven't navigated many challenges together yet.

Love almost ended and we just started tryin'
Our love has been tested early on and we are working to try and make it work despite the challenges.

Took a leap of faith, still fallin', fallin'
We took a risk by committing to each other, and we are still learning and growing together.

Tell me when it's supposed to start to feel like flying
When will our love start to feel effortless and joyful, like flying?

Don't do me bad, don't prove me wrong
Please don't hurt me or prove me wrong in my decision to give our relationship another chance.

Don't tell me that you movin' on
Don't give up on us and move on when things get tough.

I can't take another heartbreak (oh)
I've already been hurt and can't handle another heartbreak.

Take you back, why should I take you back?
Why should I forgive you and give our relationship another chance?

When you the one that fucked this up yeah
You are the one who caused the issues in our relationship and hurt me.

You the one that turnt this out, and
You made this relationship difficult and complicated.

I know you that young and you rich and you gettin' it
I understand that you are young and successful, but that doesn't excuse your mistakes in our relationship.

I'm too raw of a bitch, to be moved, been with dissonance
I am confident in myself and won't be easily swayed by our past mistakes and disagreements.

No, that's not my mission, yeah, that's why you trippin'
My goal in this relationship is not to hurt or trip you up, which is why you may be struggling to understand my forgiveness.

Distance hittin' different, it's not your kind of tension
The distance between us is causing tension and you may be struggling to handle it.

But I, I, I, I, I love you, but I don't love ridin' this ride
I still love you despite our struggles, but I don't know if I can handle the rocky journey of our relationship.

You know it ain't right
We both know that our past mistakes and current struggles aren't right, but we are still trying to make things work.

You know you can tell me anything
I am here for you and want you to feel comfortable being open and honest with me.

I'll never judge, I'll just agree
I won't judge or criticize you, but will try to understand your perspective.

'Cause I'm guilty of all the same things
I've made my own mistakes in this relationship and can relate to your struggles.

I want you to be just who you are
I love and accept you for who you are, mistakes and all.

You can show me all of your scars
I am here to support you and help you heal from your past wounds and mistakes.
