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 (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Baby, I just can't (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I would rather fall into a lion's den
