Lion's Den

[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 (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 (A lion's den)
