Save Me

1. See me take my bows
And I'm heading for the exits
I can't stick around.

This life's been hard
And I can't see the sense in fighting it anymore
Can't you let me go
Won't you show me the door.

'Cause I've made mistakes
That have hurt the ones I've loved
And I've thrown them under the bus
One too many times.

There can be no redemption for a sinner such as I
Won't you wish me to the cornfield now
Won't you help me stop living a lie.

So here I am in the corner of a dark room
The same way I began
Alone with these mournful thoughts
And a loaded gun in my hand.

But a foolish part of me
Still holds out for a shred of humanity
For a queen in a robe or a knight on a steed
Can't you see that I'm just a child on his knees.

[Chorus1:]
Save me from fear and pain
And love will rain on me
Save me today
Before tomorrow finds me at rest.

Save me from fear and pain
And love come down and rain on me
Save me today
For tomorrow will find me at rest.

2. Now I'm standing alone in the moment of truth
As the judgement's handed down
And my feet are scarred from the broken glass.
Strewn across the ground.

Then you come to my side
And only to you I confide
That I've been battered and shattered and bruised and abused
For the very very last time
Won't you help me, just.

[Chorus2:]
Save me from fear and pain
And love reign o'er me
Save me, save me today
For tomorrow will find me at rest.

Save me from fear and pain
And love will rain on me
Save me today
For tomorrow, find me at rest
Find me at rest.
