Take Me Alive

I've been holding my breath too long

Trying not to fall too deep

Every scar I learned to hide

You see through me when you speak

I don't know how I got this close

Standing naked in your eyes

Every wall I built for years

Starts to crumble when you sigh

I'm tired of pretending I'm strong

I'm tired of running away

If you're gonna hurt me

Then don't hesitate

Take me alive

Don't let me be safe

I don't wanna feel that way

If you're gonna love me, love me deep

Leave nothing of me untouched

Take me alive

Every fear, every flaw

I'm ready to lose it all

If I'm breaking tonight in your arms

Then at least I'll feel something real

Your hands shake just like mine

But we don't know what comes next

Every truth we never said

Is beating hard inside my chest

I've tasted love that disappears

I've survived the quiet pain

But the way you pull me close

Makes me want to feel it all again

I don't need a promise made

I don't need forever sworn

I just need this moment

Before the morning comes

Take me alive

Don't let me be safe

I don't wanna feel that way

If you're gonna love me, love me deep

Leave nothing of me untouched

Take me alive

Every fear, every flaw

I'm ready to lose it all

If I'm breaking tonight in your arms

Then at least I'll feel something real

If this is the edge, let me fall

I'm done standing still

I don't wanna survive this love

I wanna feel it kill

Take me alive

No mercy now

I don't know how to hold back

If this love leaves scars on my heart

I'll wear every mark

Take me alive

Don't save my soul
