"The Takedown" lyrics

"The Takedown"

I feel things changing when I move
(It's a distance, it's a difference)
Across this planet without you
(And you might call this a downfall)
It's one long night that I'm passing through
(It's a dark one, what have I done?)
It's one long night...

Don't turn your back on me now
You can't do this
And don't say you can live without
You can't do this alone
How did I end up like this, the lonely one
Your greatest take down?
You take me down

Left last night with a long goodbye
(With some red wine through a phone line)
I told you thoughts that multiply
(That I don't know how to let go)
We've been here many times before
(I am empty when you leave me)
What's one more?

Don't turn your back on me now
You can't do this
And don't say you can live without
You can't do this alone
How did I end up like this, the broken one
Your greatest take down?
You take me down

You take me down

I won't get by, I won't heal in time
I won't get by

Don't turn your back on me now
You can't do this
And don't say you can live without
You can't do this alone
How did I end up like this, the chosen one
Your greatest take down?
You take me down
