Temple by Amy Zou Lyrics
Verse 1:
I tore down my image in your name
I let myself be small for your fame
I placate, relate, and gave myself away
I let you cut me with your words
When I wasn’t enough even for just me
A sick fantasy, do you like what you see?
Pre-Chorus:
I sing over my bones till it comes true
Any other words I know for you
I blindfolded myself within a week
Chorus:
Away
Take me away, away
Take me away, take me away
Ooh
Strip me of what I could be
Is this what you wanted?
Verse 2:
But it was your imagined take
Push and pull, you know what to say
You say you worship women
But why do I feel caged?
Chorus:
Take me away
Take me away, away
Take me away, away
Strip me of what I could be
Is that what you wanted?
Bridge:
I let you in my temple
You cut your name into my walls
I let my guard down you found out
Chorus:
Away, take me away, away
Take me away
Take me away, away
Strip me of what I could be
Is that what you wanted?
Outro:
Baby oh baby
Take me oh take me oh take me
Baby you took me you took me
I tore down my image in your name
I let myself be small for your fame
I placate, relate, and gave myself away
I let you cut me with your words
When I wasn’t enough even for just me
A sick fantasy, do you like what you see?
Pre-Chorus:
I sing over my bones till it comes true
Any other words I know for you
I blindfolded myself within a week
Chorus:
Away
Take me away, away
Take me away, take me away
Ooh
Strip me of what I could be
Is this what you wanted?
Verse 2:
But it was your imagined take
Push and pull, you know what to say
You say you worship women
But why do I feel caged?
Chorus:
Take me away
Take me away, away
Take me away, away
Strip me of what I could be
Is that what you wanted?
Bridge:
I let you in my temple
You cut your name into my walls
I let my guard down you found out
Chorus:
Away, take me away, away
Take me away
Take me away, away
Strip me of what I could be
Is that what you wanted?
Outro:
Baby oh baby
Take me oh take me oh take me
Baby you took me you took me
