Save You – English Lyrics

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Take a breath, I pull myself together

Just another step until I reach the door

You'll never know the way it tears me up inside to see you (oh, oh)

I wish that I could tell you something (oh, oh)

To take it all away

Sometimes I wish I could save you

And there's so many things that I want you to know

I won't give up 'til it's over

If it takes you forever, I want you to know

When I hear your voice, it's drowning in the whispers

You're just skin and bones, there's nothing left to take

And no matter what I do, I can't make you feel better (oh, oh)

If only I could find the answer (oh, oh)

To help me understand

Sometimes I wish I could save you

And there's so many things that I want you to know

I won't give up 'til it's over

If it takes you forever, I want you to know

That if you fall, stumble down, I'll pick you up off the ground

If you lose faith in you, I'll give you strength to pull through

Tell me you won't give up 'cause I'll be waiting

If you fall, you know, I'll be there for you

(Oh, oh) If only I could find the answer

(Oh, oh) To take it all away

Sometimes I wish I could save you

And there's so many things that I want you to know

I won't give up 'til it's over

If it takes you forever, I want you to know

I wish I could save you

I want you to know

I wish I could save you
