Take Me Instead
Lyrics
What is my free will if I lie helpless?
I want all of the pain, I'm selfish
All my real ones, I know that they felt this
Pain that's endless
I wish death had took me first
With my loved ones written on a T-Shirt
In the clean suit, ridin' in a cheap hearse
Wishin' it was reverse, waitin' for the reapers
Won't you take me instead?
Won't you aim for my head?
If there's heaven waitin'
Helping me for my forgiveness
Won't you take me instead?
When I wait for my rest?
If there's heaven waitin'
Now blame me for my forgiveness
(Won't you)
Won't you take me instead?
I was holdin' in my last breath
Foldin' in when all the colder shit in then my life took a fast left
Watch you bleedin', know the way you seen me like I was half dead
But I just couldn't accept
I just couldn't ever, everything was fine with you, but now we're past that, but
I would take the pain for you in a heartbeat
To take it from me better bring up an army
Selfishly I thought the hell was serious, just enough for you to have to leave it alone
I'm not sorry, I'm not ready to give up this easy
I'll rip my heart out from the front of my chest 'fore I turn my back or you don't need me
Won't you take me instead?
Won't you aim for my head?
If there's heaven waitin'
Helping me for my forgiveness
Won't you take me instead?
When I wait for my rest?
If there's heaven waitin'
Now blame me for my forgiveness
(Won't you)
Won't you take me instead?
Take me instead, take me instead, take me instead, take me instead
