Lion's Den

Don't ask me to imagine

A life where we almost never happened

Where you were not my purpose

Where our fingertips never scratched the surface, yeah

I don't wanna wake up

If you're not gonna be right there when I look across

I don't want you to run out on us

So if you're gonna leave, leave slowly

'Cause you're the only one who holds me like

A piece of me just might be holy

Come carry me through all my sleepless nights

I tried not to love you

Baby, I just can't

I would rather fall into a lion's den

Than someone else's arms, my darling

Baby, I just can't

I would rather fall into a lion's den

Don't ask me to remember

A time where you and I were not together, yeah

'Cause I would rather sever

My arteries than lose them as our tether

So if you're gonna leave, leave slowly

'Cause you're the only one who holds me like

A piece of me just might be holy

Come carry me through all my sleepless nights

I tried not to love you

Baby, I just can't

I would rather fall into a lion's den

Than someone else's arms, my darling

Baby, I just can't

I would rather fall into a lion's den

Than someone else's arms

Than someone else's heart

'Cause someone else ain't you

And, baby, that's the hardest part

You're all I've ever known

Don't wanna let you go

Oh

So if you're gonna leave, leave slowly

'Cause you're the only one who holds me like

A piece of me just might be holy

Come carry me through all my sleepless nights

I tried not to love you

Baby, I just can't

I would rather fall into a lion's den

Than someone else's arms, my darling

Baby, I just can't

I would rather fall into a lion's den
