Take My Love Lyrics
You're no sunset, you're no liar
You're the beauty I admire
Burning love, hope, and desire
You're the woods at night on fire
Oh, I miss you when it's cold out
When church bells ring I hear you sing out
You're no broken record turning
You're a wild melody
I know I might not be the one you take
But take my love, take my love
When you told me you can't sleep
Count your sins instead of sheep
Count the ways that you feel weak
But that is not what I see
You're wreckage, you're a fighter
Scraped and scarred by your own power
Sounding loud above the water
You're a wild melody
I know I might not be the one you take
I've got a heart, it ain't afraid to break
Take my love, take my love
Bricks through windows, house you hate
Walls you've built gone up in flames
Hear the roof cry as it eaves
All its power on you fades
No one's had your heart before
Felt that breathing on your floor
Felt that wolf at your front door
Felt that blood inside you boil
Take my love, take my love
You're no sunset, you're no liar
You're the beauty I admire
You're the woods at night on fire
Burning love, hope, and desire
Oh, I miss you when it's cold out
When church bells ring I hear you sing out
You're no broken record turning
You're a wild melody
Take my love, take my love
Take my love, take my love
You're the beauty I admire
Burning love, hope, and desire
You're the woods at night on fire
Oh, I miss you when it's cold out
When church bells ring I hear you sing out
You're no broken record turning
You're a wild melody
But take my love, take my love
Count your sins instead of sheep
Count the ways that you feel weak
But that is not what I see
You're wreckage, you're a fighter
Scraped and scarred by your own power
Sounding loud above the water
You're a wild melody
I've got a heart, it ain't afraid to break
Take my love, take my love
Walls you've built gone up in flames
Hear the roof cry as it eaves
All its power on you fades
No one's had your heart before
Felt that breathing on your floor
Felt that wolf at your front door
Felt that blood inside you boil
You're the beauty I admire
You're the woods at night on fire
Burning love, hope, and desire
Oh, I miss you when it's cold out
When church bells ring I hear you sing out
You're no broken record turning
You're a wild melody
Take my love, take my love

This song is about unrequited love in the best way there is. Most songs about loving someone who may not love you back is sad and hurtful.
This song is having the courage to love someone despite how they may feel in return. When you love someone everything about that person becomes greater. All of the parts of that person that to them, seem weak or broken - to you are their greatest strengths and attributes.
I think the singer is telling this person that even though, she may not choose him in the end to be with - he chooses to love her anyway. And that's the bravest thing a person can do. Love someone completely despite the outcome.
"I know I might not be the one you take. I've got a heart, it ain't afraid to break. Take my love, take my love"
