something anyway - Don't Take Me

I took a walk outside one night
To clear my head and just feel alright
Cause now and then I need to get away
From this messed up life I face every day
And then I saw a light
Fall from the sky
And as it hit the ground below, I saw a man calling me to get ready to go
Speechless I stared
Nearly impaired
Said "Am I dead?"
He looked at me and this is what he said
He said
"My name is Ben, so let me begin
I'm here to help you start all over again
Reset the clock to when you were young
And never have to go through all the pain again
Like when you first found love
But it wasn't enough
Erase the scars, maybe fix your heart, and get the chance to have a better end"
I looked back up for a second glance
Could I really have another chance?
To fix all that's messed up in my trainwreck of a 21st-century life
I said "This can't be real..."
He said
"Here's the deal
Come get a front row seat
And you will meet
Everything in your life
That should've been"
As the smoke began to clear
I saw a ship appear
"FIX WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU" was lit in red
Another shot and as I walked, this is what he said
He said
"My name is Ben, so let me begin
I'm here to help you start all over again
Reset the clock to when you were young
And never have to go through all the pain again
Like when you first found love
But it wasn't enough
Erase the scars, maybe fix your heart, and get the chance to have a better end"
I don't really know why...
But as I started to climb...
The stairs to end, to begin again
Thought what's the point of all the pain if we just give in...
To an easy out
Never figure out...
Just how tough we can really be
I'm not passing up
An opportunity
There's nothing more perfect than a broken me
"I hear your words," said Ben
"And I understand..this is where my story ends
You've passed the test, leave out all the rest
Learn from the pain and you'll be stronger and...
Soon you will find love...
And it'll be enough...
Embrace your scars...
Use your heart...
You will surely have a perfect end
As he went back up he said "Remember me
Everything in the end's a memory
You decide how to live life
Let the pain be the remedy"
Don't Take Me
Dont Take Me now...
Don't Take Me
Don't Take Me now...
Don't Take Me
Don't Take Me now...
Don't Take Me
Don't Take Me now
