Analysis of I would like it back
There is something I have you
Long ago
You take it with you
Wherever you go
I've tried to go on
With a missing piece
But existence feels tighter
With no release
I would like it back
To complete my soul
And carry on
Peaceful and whole
As time goes on
I realise
It is mines no more
To my demise
As it pains me to accept
I know it is true
My heart will forever
Belong to you
