Take Me Away

Take me away
Take me away
This love's on fire
But take me higher
Take me away
Take me away
This love's on fire
But take me higher

She was an honor roll student, so sophisticated
Momma was a doctor, brother was a hockey player
She had a dream to inspire be that motivation
From all the pain inflicted, knew that she could make a difference
The only issue was the fear of always being judged
Look in the mirror, she has hate the person she's become
They don't see the battle or the hurtful scars
At the age of six, she was raped by her Uncle Tom
Forever traumatized
Lost her father due to cancer when she was 12 so she turned to God

To find some answers
Feeling frantic, she can't seem to shake this damn depression
She started smoking weed, thought that maybe it would ease the tension
Only made it worse
She found the wrong crowd
Sneaking out late, lying to her mom now
Money not a problem, she's got tons of options
Easily most popular in school
She don't like the gossip

Take me away
Take me away
This love's on fire
But take me higher
Take me away
Take me away
This love's on fire
But take me higher

She had a crush on a guy from the soccer team
He was ripped, super funny every woman's dream
They started talking, then he asked her out upon a date
She said yes, food was a great, they had a couple drinks (couple drinks)
Laughed for hours then invited her to his place
She said of course with a smile as her heart raced
Sat on the couch, started kissing
Then he made his move, they hit the bedsheets
Candlelights surround the room
Then she paused, wait, question, do you got a condom?

His response, "No, is that gonna be a problem"?
They continued on up until the crack of dawn
Weeks later feeling off, knew there must be something wrong
She goes to her doctor, explains the situation
Nervously awaiting
And she's starting to become impatient
Until she got the call suddenly her jaw dropped
Found out that she's pregnant
Plus the guy she loved cheated dawg

Take me away
Take me away
This love's on fire
But take me higher
Take me away
Take me away
This love's on fire
But take me higher

So disgusted, bitter, living with this agony
Her son was born a week ago but daddy's gone you see
She tried to end it once before but failed it miserably
Stopped herself she had a moment thought about her family
But now the pain's too much, cannot cope she's had enough
Meds ain't working, head is hurting, suicide it is a must

Calls her mom to say "I love you" but there was no warning sign
Called her brother left a message please take care of Jeremiah
Locks herself inside her room
Writes a note, it says to whom
That it might concern, but I'm not strong enough to make it through
Love you guys, this is goodbye until we meet again, I fly
Up into the gates of Heaven
Promise me you will not cry

Grabs depressants from the cabinet
Palms are sweaty, starts spinnin'
She's debating, contemplating
Takes the pills now it's hitting
Dials 911 crashes hard (bang), hits the floor
Paramedics rushing in, but It's too late an angel soars

Take me away
Take me away
This love's on fire
But take me higher
Take me away
Take me away
This love's on fire
But take me higher
