[Verse 1]
It's the start of a brand new day
For the same old patterns
That I've come to tolerate
Just barely though

It's the end of the same old day
The never-ending grind
Of climbing the tallest paper mountains
Aiming for someone else's targets

[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm done with watching myself just fade away

[Chorus]
Take my life back
You made a fool out of me
Now watch me walk out the door

Take my life back
You tell me who I should be
And I can't stand it anymore

Don't you know?
You don't know me at all
So I'll go
Find a place
Where I really belong

Take my life back
I'm not sure where I should be
But I know that it's not here

[Verse 2]
I believed the lie they sold
Now I'm drifting farther
Sinking further down
From where I'd rather be

Now I know this wasn't meant for me
Used to dream about tomorrow
But now I float through every second
Longing for all my yesterdays

[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm done with watching myself just fade away

[Chorus]
Take my life back
You made a fool out of me
Now watch me walk out the door

Take my life back
You tell me who I should be
And I can't stand it anymore

Don't you know?
You don't know me at all
So I'll go
Find a place
Where I really belong

Take my life back
I'm not sure where I should be
But I know that it's not here

[Bridge]
Take my life back

[Chorus]
Take my life back
You made a fool out of me
Now watch me walk out the door

Take my life back
You tell me who I should be
And I can't stand it anymore

Don't you know?
You don't know me at all
So I'll go
Find a place
Where I really belong

Take my life back
I'm not sure where I should be
But I know that it's not here
