Take You Out

from Double Edged Sword by Ryan Garrett

/

about

Look after your brothers and sisters out there.

lyrics

Lately they all tell me I should stop
And let it all go instead
Of trying to fly you to the top
And set you off over my head
Remember when we were young and so full of doubt?
Acting like we knew what we were talking about
But times are so much darker now

Call me crazy, call me insecure
But I'm hearing those voices again in my head
Call me crazy if you're sure

Because I'm scared they're out to get me
Something tells me they're onto us
And I refuse to drag you with me
Cause you're the only thing I can trust
They strip you down and put you to the test
Then dress me up with fear and doubt
And I'm the one who got you in this mess
I'm not gonna let them take you out

Should I shut up and go back home?
Would it even matter to you?
Do you even know what's going on?
Or are you just getting through?
Remember back at the start when you were telling me
That I could be anything that I wanted to be?
I want to be the one that sets you free

Those condescending zealots will break your heart
Someday I'll try to break it all down for you
But tonight I don't know where to start

Because I swear they're out to get me
Something tells me they're onto us
And I refuse to drag you with me
Cause you're the only thing I can trust
They strip you down and put you to the test
Then dress me up with fear and doubt
And I'm the one that got you in this mess
I'm not gonna let them take you out.

Why don't you just run away?
And live to see another day
Cause it's not life you're living here
It's not life if you live in fear
Tomorrow's never gonna come
If the darkest night has just begun
I've never known an easy way

So why don't you just run away?

Not gonna let em, Not gonna let em
Not gonna let em take you out
Not gonna let em, Not gonna let em
Not gonna let em take you out...
