Take Care

from Seeing Things by Hannah McPhillimy

/

lyrics

Verse 1
"Take care" you said, as you turned and left.

Next time, don't waste your breath.

I may look young - born and raised to run,

but I feel close to death,
yes I feel close to death.

Verse 2
I know I'm old enough to know,

that change is not prudent to detest.

But I did not cheer when independence came here,

instead my heart got caught up with my chest,
my heart got caught up with my chest.

CHORUS
See they don't know this about me,

Cause I smile though I bleed internally

and when I can't breathe - I still speak.

Oh tell me all that's stopping you, 
is thinking I am bullet proof.

Instrumental interlude

Verse 3
I've spilt my guts, have you heard enough?

I wished you didn't have to see me in this mess.

But my heart's turned to stone, it has not been mine own.

For as many years as you have seen me in the flesh,

like you said yourself we have to self-protect.

CHORUS

See they don't know this about me,

Cause I smile though I bleed internally

and when I can't breathe - I still speak.



I will be fully known,

it's better all Hell breaks loose then penned in,

a glass case loved for perfection.

Oh tell me it's not all too much, 
that I'm just the right amount of messed up
,
and you've been waiting for permission to,

say I'll be the one to take care of you.
