Take It to the Heart

I am a fire under wind, I am a lion deep within

I don't want you to slow me down

I don't want you to stall me

You got claws, scratch away at me

Rag doll, fall down, make a meal of me

I am the sand, you are the sea

You are all of me, you drown me

I can not breathe, I can not breathe

Sometimes I get a little bit overwhelmed

Then I can see, that my heart still beats

I got nothing but power, I'll strike you like lightning

Take it to the heart and wash it out

Go back to the start, it's raging now

Be a better fighter, lover, oh please

I don't want you to break me down

(No, no, no)

I don't want you to break me down (No)

Condemn me down to burning shores

You think I ain't been here before

I've been here way more times than you

Could ever dream to fathom

You want more, get away from me

I don't need you, goodness sake, I mean

How could you think you stand over me?

I'm alive now, electric

I can not breathe, I can not breathe

Sometimes I get a little bit overwhelmed

Then I can see that my heart still beats

I got nothing but power, I strike you like lightning

Take it to the heart and wash it out

Go back to the start, it's raging now

Be a better fighter, lover, oh please

I don't want you to break me down

Oh, I rise up babe, I got you inside

You never wanted me to feel like I'm worth your time

Caught up in game after game, but I am getting tired

You're on me just like a snake, ready to take my life

We gotta let this go, it's all over baby

Oh, wanna let you know I've strengthened over time

Us, like we never learned how to be separated

Oh, wanna let you know I'm driftin' with the tide

Take it to the heart and wash it out

Go back to the start, it's raging now

Be a better fighter, lover, oh please

I don't want you to break me down

Take it to the heart and wash it out

Go back to the start, it's raging now

Be a better fighter, lover, oh please

I don't want you to break me down

(No, no, no)

I don't want you to break me down

(No, no, no)

I don't want you to break me down
