Sidewalk Prophets - Take Me Down Lyrics

I saw the news today the war is at our door It's always been there in my heart The battle between grace and pride has always raged deep inside It's hard to be friend, when all you want to be is right

Take me down, won't you Take me down, won't you Take this crown off of my head Lift it up, won't you Lift it up, won't you Put it back on You again Back on You again

I tried to analyze the answers to this life What divided you and me I can't seem calculate the science of the heart Love can't be proven easily

Take me down, won't you Take me down, won't you Take this crown off of my head Lift it up, won't you Lift it up, won't you Put it back on You again Back on You again

Oh I've, stolen all this time from you Oh I, tried to steal your thunder too Oh I, reject the gift you freely give Oh I, fulfill empty promises I've taken riches that were yours To justify my holy wars I have spun a web of lies All so I could criticize I've kicked you out of my hearts throne Then wondered why I was alone So take me now And break me now Embrace me now Take me down

Take me down, won't you Take me down, won't you Take this crown off of my head Lift it up, won't you Lift it up, won't you Put it back on You again

Take me down, won't you (Take my selfishness) Take me down, won't you (Take my foolish pride) Take this crown off of my head (Go on and lift it up) Lift it up, won't you (It was always Yours) Lift it up, won't you (It was never mine) Put it back on You again Back on You again
