Hollow out my chest & watch the blood drain from me
Throw my heart into the ring & watch me bleed
Take me apart, piece-by-piece
Until you've emptied every vein
Post-mortem of my life with you, all that ever will remain
You've stripped my bones & now I see
You fed from every part of me
But there's one thing that you can never take
So now I'm laying on your slab
I wish for times I thought I'd had
You will never take my heart away
Take a look into the flesh & tell me all that you see
But can you justify your reasons to dissect me?
You hack & tear to find the facts
But you're a stranger to the truth
Now you've got your pound of flesh
Maybe I'll turn the knife on you
You've stripped my bones & now I see
You fed from every part of me
But there's one thing that you can never take
So now I'm laying on your slab
I wish for times I thought I'd had
You will never take my heart away
Take away this flesh of mine
Break all the fragile pieces of my mind
You'll never take me; no you'll never take me away
You'll never strip my life from me
You'll never break me; no you'll never make a me stay
You'll never take me away!
