Well she was lookin' out the window

And I was starin' at the door

The dog was sleepin' on the sofa

This place has never been this quiet before

You can't pretend it never happened

You can't pretend it's still the same

You can't say you were only jokin'

You can't keep thinkin' things can go on this way.

[Chorus]

Some things you can't take back

Though you wish you could

Some things you can't take back

Though the glass has been broke

And the milk has been spilled

And your loves on the line

Some things you can't take back.

When someone says there's no tomorrow

When the writings on the wall

After all have cried and spoken

And your poor heart has taken such a fall.

[Chorus]

Some things you can't take back

Though you wish you could

Some things you can't take back

Though the glass has been broke

And the milk has been spilled

And your loves on the line

Some things you can't take back.

If I could reset the clock and go back in time

I'd erase the thoughts that went through my mind

You know I never would leave

And I'd still have you with me.

You can't pretend it never happened

You can't pretend it's still the same

You can't say you were only jokin'

You can't keep thinkin' things can go on this way.

[Chorus]

Some things you can't take back

Though you wish you could

Some things you can't take back

Though the glass has been broke

And the milk has been spilled

And your loves on the line

Some things you can't take back.

Some things you can't take back

'cause in the cold light of day the pieces all blew away

And now I'm livin' a lie

Some things you can't take back.
