Lyrics
Take It From Me
Verse 1:
See what your hearts doing to ya
After you ran away from me
you tried to find a place
where you could hide from my memory
Fame blinded your eyes
chasing neon fantasies
It's breaking my heart
to see where you are, Baby
Chorus:
Take it from me
My love is real
I know what you need
I feel what you feel
when the city lights have all burned out
And no comfort can be found
take it from me
you'll know where I'll be
Verse 2:
You'll realize the illusion
Within your darkest hour you'll see
When you cry out for love
You'll find me there with my arms in
reach
Beneath the moonlight
I'll dry every tear you weep
To light up your eyes
Like a neon sign, Baby
Chorus:
Bridge:
Only love will set you free
Nothing less will bring you more
Like an ocean wave
I know you'll return to the shore
