Lyrics
The Lion
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.
When you're right in front of me
It's so hard for me to say
I've grown so pessmistic
And it hurts to say goodbye
But I hate it when we stay
Why does it kill to feel alone?
Can you take this all away?
(Can you take this all away?)
Can you make it safe to stay?
(Can you make it safe to stay?)
So, tell me that you love me
And that's what I wanna hear
I've been so selfish lately
And I feel so older now
And even colder in my heart
This place doesn't feel like home anymore
Can you take this all away?
(Can you take this all away?)
Can you make it safe to stay?
(Can you make it safe to stay?)
