Lyrics Gabrielle Aplin

Gabrielle Aplin

Take Me Away

Take me away from the demons in my brain

Take me out to the world

Take me out into the day

And let me find

My peace of mind

I was alone

I was taken with the tide

But I knew that I was home

When I looked into your eyes and said I'm done

Just let me go

I am hollow, I am numb

I am staring down the barrel of this gun

I am always by myself

In a sea of self infliction that I felt

My life is a line burning faster every time

Happy is just a dead-end street

I must turn around and leave once in a while

Once in a while

I bear far more cracks

Than the human eye can see

Is it fair to be perplexed

And try explain what's underneath with my success?

'Cause there's nothing left

I am tortured by myself

I am haunted by the fear of someone else

I am fading, I'm a ghost

Disconnected from the things I love the most

You've seen my best turn to the worst

I've dragged you right down with me

Want to confess

But with the stress

I'm scared you'll leave me

Now I want you to know

But you can take it on your own

I am hollow, I am numb

I am staring down the barrel of this gun

I am always by myself

In a sea of self infliction that I felt
