Take Me Instead

I see the pain in your eyes

I hear your cries in the night

I feel the weight of your burdens

And I know I must make it right

i’ll keep you from burning (burning)

i’ll keep you from hurting (hurting)

And whenever the trouble comes

i’ll be the one to pick you up

It’s safe to say i’d rather fight for your life instead of mine

to be the hero, to be your valentine

i’ll give my life, and be the one who dies

because that’s what makes a hero’s story

(thats what makes a hero’s story)

and ill hold you tight and watch you cry

it’s better just me than you and i

i’ll give it a try, give it my all

all of me than to watch you fall

all of me than to see you dead

all of me it’s better said

i’d rather have them take me instead

i’ll be the martyr, the one to die

i’ll be the one to stay by your side

but in the end if all is true

in my final moments, i’ll tell you my last i love you

So It’s safe to say i’d rather fight for your life instead of mine

to be the hero, to be your valentine

i’ll give my life, and be the one who dies

because that’s what makes a hero’s story

(thats what makes a hero’s story)

and ill hold you tight and watch you cry

its better just me than you and i

i’ll give it a try, give it my all

all of me than to watch you fall

all of me than to see you dead

all of me it’s better said

i’d rather have them take me instead

I just want to see you happy

do you remember the times we were laughing?

singing along, to all our favorite songs

now my lips are sewn, all on my own

but i won’t let them get you

and i’ll make sure you see it through, so

It’s safe to say i’d rather fight for your life instead of mine

to be the hero, to be your valentine

i’ll give my life, and be the one who dies

because that’s what makes a hero’s story

(thats what makes a hero’s story)

and ill hold you tight and watch you cry

it’s better just me than you and i

i’ll give it a try, give it my all

all of me than to watch you fall

all of me than to see you dead

all of me it’s better said

i’d rather have them take me instead
