"Take Me Away" lyrics

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
Mama 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 become
They don't see the battle or the hurtful scars
At age of six, she was raped by her uncle Tom
Forever traumatized, lost her father due to cancer
Well she was twelve, so she turned to God to find some answers
Feeling frantic, she can't seem to shake this damn pressure
Started smoking weed, thought that maybe it would ease the tension
Only made it worse, she found a wrong crowd
Sneaking out late, lying to her mom now
Money not a problem, she's got tons of options
Easiest most popular 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 great, they had a couple drinks
Laughed for a 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 bed sheets, candle lights 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, then she has become impatient
Then 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 miserable
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 is no warning sign
Calls her brother, left a message, "Please take care of Jeremy"
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
