Take Me

lyrics

I burn the bridge to you
Cause I can’t go back there again I hope you know that it was real
Just wasn’t meant to last or mend
My broken heart I find the pieces are scattered too many places to retrieve I hope you heed this apology
So please don’t dare come back for me

Oh just, take me, take me, take me pieces I don’t wanna go
Oh just, take me, take me, take me pieces I don’t wanna grow
Yeah just, take me, take me, take me pieces so I stay the same
Yeah just, take me, take me, take me please so I can take the blame

Collect the pieces of my heart
Like fractured glass from sand
Oh please be careful not to cut your heart
When held in hand
You smell the burning of the cocoa tree
Almost hypnotic that’s the scent of me
But I’m not elastic, not quite pleasant, or good with moving on
My presence lingers

So take me, take me, take me pieces I don’t wanna go
Oh just, take me, take me, take me pieces I don’t wanna grow
Oh just, take me, take me, take me pieces so I stay the same
Yeah just, take me, take me, take me please so I can take the blame

Oh just, take me, take me, take me pieces I don’t wanna go
Oh just, take me, take me, take me pieces I don’t wanna grow
Yeah just, take me, take me, take me pieces so I stay the same
Yeah just, take me, take me, take me please so I can take the blame
