[English]

I've been pushing away

Everybody I love

I don't know what to do

Need a sign from above

I just want to be somebody who knows

Who knows how to behave

But I'm not even close

Won't you save

Save

Save

Save me?

Won't you save

Save

Save

Save me?

I am out here alone

'Cause there's nobody left

I need someone to talk to

Get this thing off my chest

All the bad things I've done

And the people I've hurt

Wanna take that part of me and leave it in the dirt

Won't you save

Save

Save

Save me?

Won't you save

Save

Save

Save me?

Won't you save

Save

Save

Save me?

Oh, save me

Save

Save me

Oh I've been trapped in this darkness

For far too long now

I'm gonna tear down the curtains

Let the sunshine in

Oh I've been seeking forgiveness

'Cause I know I was wrong

Oh I'm running out of time

I had to stay strong

...

Won't you save

Save

Save

Save me?

Won't you save

Save

Save

Save me?

...
