Taken Lyrics

Now that you can't have me
You suddenly want me
Now that I'm with somebody else
You tell me you love me
I slept on your doorstep
Begging for one chance
Now that I finally moved on
You say that you missed me all along

Who do you think you are?
Who do you think I am?
You only love to see me breaking
You only want me 'cause I'm taken
You don't really want my heart
No, you just like to know you can
Still be the one who gets it breaking
You only want me when I'm taken

You're messing with my head
Girl that's what you do best
Saying there's nothing you won't do
To get me to say yes
You're impossible to resist
But I wouldn't bet your heart on it
It's like I'm finally awake
And you're just a beautiful mistake

Who do you think you are?
Who do you think I am?
You only love to see me breaking
You only want me 'cause I'm taken
You don't really want my heart
No, you just like to know you can
Still be the one who gets it breaking
You only want me when I'm taken

Thank you for showing me
Who you are underneath
No, thank you, I don't need
Another heartless misery
You think I'm doing this to make you jealous
And I know that you hate to hear this
But this is not about you anymore

Who do you think you are?
Who do you think I am?
You only love to see me breaking
You only want me 'cause I'm taken
You don't really want my heart
No, you just like to know you can (no you don't, no you don't)
Still be the one who gets it breaking (breaking)
You only want me when I'm taken

Now that you can't have me
You suddenly want me

What is the Meaning of Taken?

In this poignant narrative, the lyrics explore the complexities of romantic relationships and the human tendency to desire what is unattainable. The protagonist reflects on a past lover who now expresses interest only because he has moved on with someone else. This sudden shift underscores the ex-lover's superficial motives, revealing that her interest is driven by a desire for control rather than genuine affection. The song delves into themes of emotional manipulation, self-realization, and the empowerment that comes from recognizing one's worth beyond another's validation. Through its candid storytelling, it highlights the importance of moving forward and not succumbing to toxic cycles. #EmotionalManipulation #SelfWorth #ToxicRelationships
