Lori Lieberman - You Can't Take It Back (feat. Matangi Quartet)

You can't take it back once you've thrown a stone
Can't take it back once you let it go
Change your mind after the fact
But some things you can't take back
Some things you can't take back

You can't put it back once a match is lit
Watch it burn, all of it
If you'd only stopped at that
But some things you can't put back
Some things you can't take back

I know, I'm aware
Made some blunders, had my share
Even though I took the blame
I would have lost him anyway

You can't stop the hurt once it starts to bleed
Can't un-learn, can't un-see
Cover over all the cracks
But some things you can't put back
Some things you can't take back

I know, I'm aware
Made some blunders, had my share
Even though I took the blame
I would have lost him anyway

You can't take it back once a lie is spoken
Can't put it back once trust is broken
Different ways a heart can snap
Some things you can't put back
Some things you can't take back

You can't take it back once you let it go
Can't hold on to melting snow
Though you'll wish for what you had
Sometimes you can't look back
Cause you can't put it back
Some things you can't take back.
