[Intro]
(Lion's Den)

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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
