Save Me

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 6 months ago 1 min read

[Verse]

When I said "I love you" the very first time

It wasn’t a lie, but it wasn’t the truth

I needed someone to pull me through

From the hell I was stuck inside

[Prechorus]

It wasn’t fair

No, no it wasn’t right

I just wanted you to fight my fight

I wanted you to save me

[Chorus]

Save me

Save me

My soul cried out loud

Not from you,

But from the crashing crowds

I wanted you to be my getaway

But grownup love doesn't work that way

[Verse 2]

You stood there shining like a big strong man

I reached for your warmth, and you took my hands

Baby, I didn't know how my deceit would unfold

But still you stayed and didn't let go

You tried to

[Chorus]

Save me

Save me

My soul cried out loud

Not from you,

but from the crashing crowds

I wanted you to be my getaway

But grownup love doesn't work that way

[Bridge]

I grew to love you, oh so much, and the way you stayed

Even when our world felt dark and grey

What began as an escape, in time became a home

Now I don't ever need to be alone...

You

[Chorus]

Saved me

saved me

My soul cried out loud

Not from you,

but from the crashing crowds

I wanted you to be my getaway

But grownup love doesn't work that way

Still..

You saved me
