SheDaisy - Keep Me lyrics

This can't really be what life is all about

Learning how to live just to live without

The travesty's the irony and the irony is you

I've traded in my sanctity for a cheaper shade of blue

And as I surrender to this sunken bed

So afflicted by the tenant in my head

Even now, I wonder how you lay her down to sleep

When secretly, I know that it's my soul that you pray

to keep

But will you really keep me

(Keep me)

On your porch, or on your tongue

(Keep me)

Beating in your chest, or coming undone

(Keep me)

Folded neatly in the cover of your favorite book

(Keep me)

At a distance, in your maze

Fumbling through a contemplative haze

Or tucked away clandestinely, where no else will look

Where my broken sky reaches to your velvet sea

Will you keep me, will you keep me

Drowning in the bottom of this empty glass

I pray God is good and that this too shall pass

Then from the abyss, maybe I'll find a sweet reprieve

When the echo of your kiss reminds me to believe

That you'll always keep me

(Keep me)

Under God or on your wall

(Keep me)

Behind closed doors, forever after all

(Keep me)

Or headed south on the blacktop ribbon we designed

(Keep me)

On the mantel of integrity

(Keep me)

Investing in something I'll never see

(Keep me)

At thirty thousand feet or in the windows of your mind

In a corner of your heart, under lock and key

Will you keep me, will you keep me

Hoah

Traipsing on hallowed ground (hoah)

Has bought a lifelong sentence

Now, living without your breathe to fill my lungs

Will be my penance

And even as I feel

I hope you feel it just as deeply

And even though you've let me go

Say you'll always keep me

Say you'll always keep me

The melody you misconstrue

Or on the ocean crashing into you

Or waiting for the man you'll never have the heart to

be

In the fervent strains of this tragic elegy

Will you keep me (keep me)

Will you keep me (keep me)

Oh, oh, will you keep me (keep me)

Will you keep me

Oh, ooh, ooh, keep me, ahh

(Fade)
