How do K-1s work?

I have a K-1 from an investment.  The distributions I received do not match my initial investment.  However, when I enter the distribution it increases my taxable income, why is that?  The way I view it, the initial investment was with after tax dollars, so the distributions are essentially my money coming back to me and I shouldn't have to pay taxes until I actually make more than my initial investment.  I'm I viewing that correctly?
