[Verse 1: Adam Gontier, Matt Walst]
Today, I lost my peace of mind
Inside a poisoned paradise
I'm up against the clock to right the wrongs
But time is ticking down like a timebomb
Hands are shaking, but I'm not breaking
The promise to myself, I'm not wasting
Another moment, another hour
I'm taking back the power
[Chorus: Matt Walst]
I've been dying for you, I've been dying for you
I just can't love you anymore
I'm taking back the power, taking back the power
You're the only one who I keep crawling back to
I just can't love you, now, it's over
I'm taking back the power, taking back the power
[Verse 2: Matt Walst, Adam Gontier]
Today, I found my peace of mind
In broken pieces left behind
It's like you hid the devastation
Here for me to find
For the last time
This will be the last time
[Chorus; Adam Gontier]
I've been dying for you, I've been dying for you
I just can't love you anymore
I'm taking back the power, taking back the power
You're the only one who I keep crawling back to
I just can't love you, now, it's over
I'm taking back the power, taking back the power
[Bridge: Adam Gontier]
Don't you know I hold you on a pedestal?
Don't you know you're underneath a halo?
Oh, I know these memories are painful
Don't you know you're underneath a halo?
[Chorus: Matt Walst, Adam Gontier]
I've been dying for you, I've been dying for you
I just can't love you anymore
I'm taking back the power, taking back the power
You're the only one who I keep crawling back to
I just can't love you, now, it's over
I'm taking back the power, taking back the power
[Outro: Matt Walst]
Don't you know you're underneath a halo?
Don't you know you'll always be my angel?
(Angel, angel, —gel, —gel, —gel)

Adam Gontier:
This is also a relationship song. It’s about feeling like you’re powerless because you’re so deep in the relationship and that person has so much power over you. The song is about that realisation of ‘I don’t want that anymore. You have all the power, and I need to take it back.’ So i...
