Take My Breath Away
VERSE 1
The words spill out like fire
Consume the air
Burning with the lies
Fueled by my despair
It burns in your eyes
It burns everywhere
The smoke is my demise
And I, a slave, have been ensnared
The wandering confused
The desperate homeless hearts
They stumble across you
A dim light in the dark
You change you face to fit the mood
The act is a work art
But behind the paint and in your wake
You always leave your mark
CHORUS
You take my breath away
Every blow knocks the wind right out of me
You kiss the cut and seal my fate
Making sure the wound will never heal
And your mind, tore me up inside
And your hands, clenched, found a whole new purpose
But you take my breath away every time
When you apologize
VERSE 2
You steal the air I breath
The words caught in my lungs
The love that I seek
Makes everything feel numb
Like beauty and the beast
The monster learns to love
But in this fairytale the beast is weak
The curse too strong
When questions should arise
The doubtful glances start
I brush them all aside
'Cause he's still in my heart
No control he knocks me 'round
I've learmed to hide the marks
But he's up down smile and frown
An endless game of cards
CHORUS
BRIDGE
How can I run away
When here with him
Is the only home I know
But how can I stay
When he's no man at all
And this home's just a whiskey soaked
Batting cage
A torn up page
A drunken rage
And a hurricane
Then there's that golden age
But he will always
ALT. CHORUS
Take my breath away
Every blow knocks the wind right out of me
You kiss the cut and seal my fate
Making sure the wound will never heal
And your mind, tore me up inside
And your hands, clenched,found a whole new purpose
But I take your breath away tonight
When I say goodbye
