Take Me Away From Here

I can't stand this anymore
I can't do this any longer
Take me away from here please,
Because I know that you're stronger.

You can lift me from the ground,
You can hold me close and tight,
And I would not resist you;
I have fought this with all my might.

Can't you hear it in my voice?
Can't you see it in my eyes?
I almost wish I hadn't
Hidden the tears and wiped them dry.

You're the one that I can trust,
You're the one who understands,
So I would willingly let you
Come in here and take my hand.

You know all my pain and hate,
You know all my rage and sorrow,
You realize that I'll have to
wake up and face it tomorrow.

I don't expect a miracle,
I don't expect for this to end,
But if you'd take me away tonight,
Maybe I could forget again.

If only for a short while,
I could break free from all my hurt.
When I am in your presence,
Laughter, love and life is relearned.

So wrap me deep in your embrace,
Envelop me in your arms,
Hold me tight and close to you,
And I won't come to any harm.

I'll let my tears flow freely,
I'll open myself to you,
I'll do it because you understand,
And your empathy is true.

So if you would take me tonight
from the burden of pain and tears,
We'll sleep together and get by on the dreams
That take us away from here.
