Anything For You

I'm a glutton for punishment, but I know I can take it
Give me your pain - I need you to make it
I've got this box for you
and a lock for it too
Knock me down, gimme your best shot
I'm tellin' you, I'm more than what you're not
I can handle it, whatever you've got
Give it to me, baby, it's what I want

If it hurts you, send it my way
I'll put it in my heart and at the end of the day
It'll chew up my insides like a disease
But better me, 'cause for you baby, anything.
Hurt me, hate me, I can really take it
Burn me, break me, I'll do it for your sake
Not you, take me, it'll never break me
Guilt me, shame me, go ahead and hang me
Cut me, stake me, but you can't ever slay me
Eat me, drain me, Just so long as I'll be saving
you

It's masochistic, but at least it works, right?
It might take you down, but give it to me and I'll put up a fight
I've got a cell for it
It'll give me hell for this
It might kill me, but baby I can save you
Give me monsters, you know that I'll come through
Beat me down, and spill my blood
As I go down I'll pull you up

If it hurts you, send it my way
I'll put it in my heart and at the end of the day
It'll chew up my insides like a disease
But better me, 'cause for you baby, anything.
Hurt me, hate me, I can really take it
Burn me, break me, I'll do it for your sake
Not you, take me, it'll never break me
Guilt me, shame me, Go ahead and hang me
Cut me, stake me, you can't ever slay me
Eat me, drain me, Just so long as I'll be saving
you.

Closer

Closer than a brother, you understand
You know the real me and still love who I am
I can lean on you and you'll hold me up,
I can close my eyes and fall 'cause you have my trust
I cry when I'm with you, I cry 'cause I miss you
You're not a dream I dreamed, or I thought I'd seen
You're the friend I need, yeah you're the real thing
So stand by me when there's no one to run to
Fall into my arms when you think nobody loves you
Give me all your hurt, and hand over your pain
Tell me when you're lonely and when you're afraid
Hold my hand and we'll walk this way
When everyone is leaving know that I'll stay
Through the storms, through the wind and rain
We'll hold on to love, we'll hold on to faith
You can lean on me when you can't be brave
If it were me I know you'd do the same
Tell me the story, tell me your mess
It's not gonna make me love you any less
When you smile at me I know the world's alright
You make me believe that I can still try
I laugh when I'm with you, I cry when I miss you
This is too good to be a dream I dreamed
I love you and that's the real thing
So stand by me when the world is screaming
and I'll fall into your arms when I think nobody loves me
Tell me 'bout your day and I'll tell you 'bout my nightmares
I'll wear this ring and you'll know I'll always be there
Hold my hand and we'll walk this way
Holding on to love, keeping the faith
I trust you, I believe in your best
Don't let anybody say you're any less
Sometimes my world is so dark that I get scared
So tell me it's okay and that God hears our prayers
If I have a day when I hurt so bad
Wrap me in a hug and tell me that
"I smile when I'm with you, I cry when I miss you
Don't worry now, girl, 'cause you'll make it through
This darkness here is just a dream you dreamed,
I love you and that's the real thing
Oh take my hand and we'll walk this way
We might be broken but together we're brave."
Tell me when your wings won't fly
and I promise to carry you through the night
