take me away

Mandi Mapes

Take me back to the summer when I was seventeen
I remember the night that you found me cryin' on the floor
By the bathroom
Sink

Always wanted to be happy. I tried everything I knew
Who would believe I would find everything I need in you
Tears fall down my face when I hit my knees to pray
Lord, take me away. just take me away
I've got my share of past regrets, photographs of bad mistakes

I cared what everyone thought but these days
I just let the haters hate
I was caught in the middle. indecisive in my shame

But my whole world came fallin' down the night
You called my name

And sin was suffocating me and I could not see
My heart failed within me

But your arms are not too short to save
And what else can I say?

Just take me away. just take me away
