Not Myself Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Run away with me in July
To the same place and be ourselves
In the ashes of the aftermath, pray
[Verse 2]
Call me, say you wash away your worry
It's the call that you made out to me
In the ashes of the aftermath, pray
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey
Tell me something
Is there anything you wouldn't do for me?
I will walk with you
Show my heart believes in something, pray
Courageous and light
[Chorus]
Please, darling
Believe in something
I want you to be yourself around me
I know it's too much to take
There's too much at stake
And I want you to be yourself around me
[Bridge]
Please
Please
[Chorus]
Please, darling
Believe in something
I want you to be yourself around me
I know it's too much to take
There's too much at stake
But I want you to be yourself around me
[Outro]
Praise
Praise
Praise
Take me to the night
