Page 187 of Pierce Me

Pierce my bones

It's all that's left of me

Alive

Second bridge

Begging you to forgive me

For breaking your jewel of a heart

Begging you to let me

Date you back to health

Begging you to touch me

I know I won’t survive

I’m yours

I’m yours

I’m yours

I’m yours

Outro

You’ve made an Austen hero out of me

I’m Romeo, I’m Rochester

I’m Darcy, I am Heathcliff

I’m freaking Mr. Knightley

Struggling for words

Yeah, I’m full-on Captain Wentworth

Writing letters, writing songs,

giving you my soul

I’m begging you to pierce me

Pierce me

Pierce my armor

Pierce my soul

Rip me open

Take my heart

What’s left of it anyway
