Take Me Down (You Can't)

TAKE ME DOWN (YOU CAN'T) - Written by Carroll Bryant

You're learning how to be somebody

Growing into your own

You're probably better off just falling

In love and all alone 

It's always gonna be eccentric 

When passion gets hotter than hell

Time has a way to help you forget it

But I can see in your eyes that you remember it well

Take me down

Isn't that your one objective?

Shake me around

Like the rag-doll bitch you think I am

(You can't) Take me down

Power can be so subjective

Take me down

Even if you really think you can

You can't

I'm starting to believe the whispers

This is gonna end the worst possible way

Stand up, your ground, or stand and deliver

No soup for you today

It's always gonna be electric 

When two powder kegs meet head to head

Face to face and we both regret it 

Preying on each other and praying for death

Take me down

Isn't that your one objective?

Shake me around

Like the rag-doll bitch you think I am

(You can't) Take me down

Power can be so subjective

Take me down

Even if you really think you can

You can't

I lay awake at night waiting for your skin

Together, wrong or right

Making the baby we so aptly name, Sin

I fall asleep sometimes waiting for you to put it in

The dagger

It's always gonna be eccentric 

When passion gets hotter than hell

Time has a way to help you forget it

But I can see in your eyes that you remember it well

You're growing into your own

Take me down

Isn't that your one objective?

Shake me around

Like the rag-doll bitch you think I am

(You can't) Take me down

Power can be so subjective

Take me down

Even if you really think you can

You can't

You can't take me down, you can't
