I stopped looking for something

Cause nothing ever can along

I had my children and a Della Reese song

But you came around and you promised a peaceful kind of life

Telling me everything would be all right

You gave me love and you took it back

You raised your hands in darkness

The bruises I would cover up

Your voice it cut me like a knife

I could't keep watching my children in a storm

Babies need a place to be safe and warm

You gave me love and you took it back

Please take something off these shoulders

Oh lord the weight of this world is hard to bear

Oh the madness it only gets bolder and older

And it don’t care, it don’t care

You gave me love and you took it back

I've learned to stop waiting

Waiting for an answer to come

I gotta raise these kids and do what's gotta be done

You know you ruined me for love, for true love down the road

All I'm good for because of you is a heavy road.

You gave me love and you took it back

Took it back, You took it back, You took it back
