Not Yours to Take by New Haven Lyrics
[Intro]
Here comes the fever, morphine IV, peace like a preacher
Both hands on my throat as I choke on all your lies like a seizure
Feels like I'm dying, but ignorance is bliss
You left me standing by your bed with nothing to do but reminisce
Guess this is it, dismiss myself and leave
For my own benefit, I pray I can forget you, please
Cross my heart and hope to die, I'd rather be alone tonight
I won't lie, feels like hell; with stars below you, I wish you well
[Chorus]
I just want to let go of you
Set me on fire and breathe me in
This isn't where the story ends
[Verse 1]
I breathe in the smoke to breathe out the pain
That's written beneath my skin
The stars are falling, on my knees I'm calling
For your touch that's paper-thin
Just last year, we were dancing on tabletops
(Bartender! Another shot!)
Drunk on the idea that we were the only two alive
[Chorus]
I just want to let go of you
Set me on fire and breathe me in
This isn't where the story ends
[Breakdown]
Not yours to take, not yours to take
Not yours to take, but now it's too late
I'm so afraid of this faithless charade
Straight from the bottle, and into the grave
Filling the role of your stone cold face
You took your life, I took the blame
So set me on fire, I'll dance with the flames
[Chorus]
I just want to let go of you
Set me on fire and breathe me in
This isn't where the story ends
Let the smoke rise high and draw my name into the clouds
Cause we both know that I'm the one that you're dreaming about
Set me on fire and breathe me in
This isn't where the story ends
Let the smoke rise high and draw my name into the clouds
Cause we both know that I'm the one that you're dreaming about
[Outro]
Take me for a ride, you fake a smile and I'll fake my pride
If I never kissed those beautiful lips, then I would be fine
Here comes the fever, morphine IV, peace like a preacher
Both hands on my throat as I choke on all your lies like a seizure
Feels like I'm dying, but ignorance is bliss
You left me standing by your bed with nothing to do but reminisce
Guess this is it, dismiss myself and leave
For my own benefit, I pray I can forget you, please
Cross my heart and hope to die, I'd rather be alone tonight
I won't lie, feels like hell; with stars below you, I wish you well
[Chorus]
I just want to let go of you
Set me on fire and breathe me in
This isn't where the story ends
[Verse 1]
I breathe in the smoke to breathe out the pain
That's written beneath my skin
The stars are falling, on my knees I'm calling
For your touch that's paper-thin
Just last year, we were dancing on tabletops
(Bartender! Another shot!)
Drunk on the idea that we were the only two alive
[Chorus]
I just want to let go of you
Set me on fire and breathe me in
This isn't where the story ends
[Breakdown]
Not yours to take, not yours to take
Not yours to take, but now it's too late
I'm so afraid of this faithless charade
Straight from the bottle, and into the grave
Filling the role of your stone cold face
You took your life, I took the blame
So set me on fire, I'll dance with the flames
[Chorus]
I just want to let go of you
Set me on fire and breathe me in
This isn't where the story ends
Let the smoke rise high and draw my name into the clouds
Cause we both know that I'm the one that you're dreaming about
Set me on fire and breathe me in
This isn't where the story ends
Let the smoke rise high and draw my name into the clouds
Cause we both know that I'm the one that you're dreaming about
[Outro]
Take me for a ride, you fake a smile and I'll fake my pride
If I never kissed those beautiful lips, then I would be fine
