Take It Away


Take away these bones

Cause without you

They're breaking down

On me

Take away these memories

Because they're driving me insane

The way

You used to say my name

Take it away

All those words you said

The way 

It felt

How I wanted you 

So badly

It almost hurt

Take it all back

 

Take away these words

On my tongue

Cause they're starting to burn

Unused promises

Broken dreams

Laying at my feet

I still can't understand

What happened here

What went so wrong

How you and I

Once so strong

Fell apart

And broke apart

How did you have my heart

In the palm of your hand

And wait this long

To break it

 

Take away these tears

Because my eyes

Can't take them anymore

Take it all away

Take it with you

On the road

As you drive away

Leaving me behind

Just please

Take it away
