Lyrics
Take This Life
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's not so much the pain
It's more the actual knife
Pretending the picture is perfect
I cut myself to sleep
I close my eyes for a second
And meet a fragile soul
I scream to hide that I'm lonely
The echo calls my name
If I ever, if I never
Make me understand the thought whatever
Make me see, make me be
Make me understand you're there for me
Take this life, I'm right here
Stay awhile and breathe me in
Take this life, I'm right here
Stay awhile and breathe me in
The water drops just beg to hit me
Why now? Hasn't rained for days
No time to play hide-and-seek
I call upon you to take me on
Break me down to pieces
Put me back, do it right this time
Struggling to fill this empty shell
Burn all my efforts in the end it means nothing
If I ever, if I never
Make me understand the thought whatever
Make me see, make me be
Make me understand you're there for me
Take this life, I'm right here
Stay awhile and breathe me in
Take this life, I'm right here
Stay awhile and breathe me in
These thoughts burn a hole in my heart
These thoughts will keep me feeling
If I ever, if I never
Make me understand the thought whatever
Make me see, make me be
Make me understand you're there for me
Take this life, I'm right here
Stay awhile and breathe me in
Take this life, I'm right here
Stay awhile and breathe me in
