Take It Back Lyrics

Cover art for Take It Back lyrics by Norah Jones

I think it's about a break up. The first part is where she is no longer with her lover, he broke up with her and now the "Missing part of me....is fine on it's own" - Basically her former lover is fine without her. The breath that "delivers such poison" is how she describes him telling her he's leaving her, and she's the one "too weak to stand." And the sea is caused by her tears.
