Taken
Muna Lyrics

Pulled up, quarter to eleven
I arrived at your place at 10:45pm

Waited a minute till you went in
I waited for a short time until you entered your house/apartment

We talked and then we stopped talking
We had a conversation, but it eventually ended

Put on a song and we listened
We played some music and enjoyed listening to it together

I know that I make you nervous
I'm aware that I have the ability to make you feel uneasy

I do it half on purpose
I intentionally behave in a way that makes you nervous, but only to some extent

You know I think you're precious
I value you greatly

Yeah, I think you're a good person
I believe that you're a decent human being

So why do I want to blow up your life?
Despite my positive thoughts about you, I have the urge to cause chaos in your life

I'll be a very good girl
I'll try my best to behave appropriately

I won't even think about it
I'll do my best to avoid thinking about causing trouble in your life

I'm just feeling like I can't help it
However, my emotions are compelling me to act out

I know you said you had a girlfriend
I am aware that you have a significant other

I just want it if it's taken
But for some reason, I desire what I can't have

Dad left when I was eleven
My father abandoned me at a young age

Mom said it was 'cause he couldn't
According to my mother, it was due to his inability to keep himself from cheating

Keep from touching other women
He was unfaithful and engaged in physical contact with other women

Some things have a way of sticking
Such experiences can have a long-lasting impact on a person's perception and actions

And now I'm standing in your kitchen
Years later, I find myself in your home

You said you told her you were leaving
I heard you mention to someone that you plan to end your current relationship

And I can't help thinking
This thought has been on my mind and I can't ignore it

I hate you 'cause you're just like him
I despise you because you remind me of my unfaithful father

So why did I have to blow up your life?
My unresolved issues have caused me to unintentionally cause chaos in your life

If I could take it from her
If I could, I would take you away from your current partner

Maybe then it would prove that I'm worth something
I believe that being with you would validate my self-worth

Now I'm alone and I'm hurt
My actions have resulted in me being lonely and in pain

Wishing I'd taken you at your word
I regret not believing what you had previously told me (about your relationship status)

When you said that you were taken
I wish I had listened when you mentioned that you were in a relationship

I know you said
I heard you mention

I just want it
I desire it

if it's taken
even though I know that it's unavailable
