Death Can't Take You Away

Just open your eyes,
forget the lies,
tell me what you do at night;
tell me you’re going to be alright.

I will catch you,
you don’t need to fall.
Forget the crimson ribbons,
forget the white scale heavens.

It’s okay to fall back down,
down to where you believe…
you’re safe and sound.

You’re not alone,
there’s no need to be ashamed,
it’s okay not to be okay.

You need help,
you’ve done it again.
I don’t want you to believe…
that this is the end.

I’ve seen you here before,
I won’t let you here again,
I won’t let you drift away…
I believe you’re going to be okay.

Stop trying to prove me wrong,
I want you here… not somewhere gone.
Stop saying no one loves you,
I’ve felt the pain… I’ve been there too.

I heard you screaming out my name,
in the morning light,
you started to cry.
you told me this is an endless fight.

I need to know why,
why, you just can’t fight.
Is it too much…
to live in the light.

The blackness consumes you,
it eats you alive,
it’s stealing your innocence;
with your sorrow filled substance.

I tell you, you need stop,
all we can do now…
is hope.

I found you lying on the floor,
sad, hurt, tears streaming down your face.
It’s going to be okay,
I won’t let death take you away.

Open your eyes,
forget earth’s lies,
I will take you by the hand,
and I will take you to a far-off land.
