Raise

I.
Lies do tell / nothing real / what they mean / I don’t know
All I had / I gave to she / to get these lies / what lies within?
There she lies / unseen to me / playing / with my being
Hate / just surprised / hide me / from this love I show

Chorus (1)
Slay me / make me go insane / I am dying / take my life away
Raise me / make the pain sustain / I am crying / take my breath away

II.
There I go / away from she / taking back / what this used to be
I never thought / this would end this way / with me / running away
My insecurities / are eating me whole / birth of my / imperfection
Denial / weary eyed / save me / from this love I know

Chorus (2)
Play me / dance in the rain / I am sulking / take my time away
Raise me / make the pain sustain / I am crying / take my breath away

Bridge
Is it over / do I cease to / care
I am free / you never / cared

Chorus (1)
Chorus (2)
