[Verse 1]
I take the hit, I wear the bruise
I hold the blame, I light the fuse
You shake, I stay, I don’t move
I swallow the pain you never choose
If it comes down hard, I take that fall
If the room goes red, I take it all
I keep your name off every wall
I turn my back to catch it all
[Pre-Chorus]
Let it land on me
Let it break my frame
If it needs a place
Put it in my name
You don’t have to bend
You don’t have to bleed
I’ll carry the weight
Till it’s gone from you, let it be
[Chorus]
I’ll take it all for you
(I’ll take it all for you)
I’ll take it all for you
So you don’t have to break
I’ll stand in front of pain
(I’ll stand in front of pain)
I’ll stand in front of pain
Till it learns my name
[Verse 2]
I know the taste of every scar
The way it drips and leaves a mark
I walked through fire in the dark
Just to keep it off your heart
If your hands shake, mine go steel
If your voice cracks, I make it heal
I take the blade, I take the chill
I take the night, I take it still
I learned the cost, I paid it twice
I broke my sleep to save your life
If love is war, then I’m the fight
I wear the black so you see white
[Pre-Chorus]
Let it land on me
Let it break my frame
If it needs a place
Put it in my name
You don’t have to bend
You don’t have to bleed
I’ll carry the weight
Till it’s gone from you, let it be
[Chorus]
I’ll take it all for you
(I’ll take it all for you)
I’ll take it all for you
So you don’t have to break
I’ll stand in front of pain
(I’ll stand in front of pain)
I’ll stand in front of pain
Till it learns my name
[Bridge]
If I come undone
Let me come apart
I’d rather lose myself
Than leave a bruise on your heart
Say my name low
When the dark gets loud
I was built to hold
What tears you down
[Final Chorus]
I’ll take it all for you
(I’ll take it all for you)
I’ll take it all for you
So you don’t have to break
I’ll stand in front of pain
(I’ll stand in front of pain)
I’ll stand in front of pain
Till it learns my name
I’ll take it all for you
(I’ll take it all for you)
I’ll take it all for you
So you can stay whole
