Save Me

Did a reckless call decide that you were leaving?

Traded all you’d left behind for other skies

To where the rain offers mercy

Grants the faithful a disguise

If ever tears should wash away a paper smile

When the battle was through and done

Decreed by judgement of the sun

Had you lost more than all that you can say you’d won

Did you ask or ever wonder if I’d been on your side

Or followed every step you took along the way?

Guarded your secrets and never told

Wove the takes to which we’d hold

Myths we tell ourselves in order to survive

When to your eyes the worlds a stranger

Without courage and full of anger

Like castles on the sand before the tide

Was it fortune holding sway when you walked away?

Laid the king down on his side when you resigned

A ring of metal for a crown

Adorned with stones to weigh it down

Rags for robes to cover up your foolish side

For chance exchanged your pain and loss

And wagered all on love and trust

Because fate alone’s not written in the stars

Save me

You’ll always save me

When you’re strong enough to heal a fragile heart

And if you save me, even pray for me

Fill my heart and mind to remind me who I am

We’ve yet so many worlds to conquer

So many roads for us to wander

I will write our names in a heaven full of stars

Save me

You’ll always save me

When you’re strong enough to heal a fragile heart

And if you save me, even pray for me

Fill my heart and mind to remind me who I am

We’ve yet so many worlds to conquer

So many roads for us to wander

I will write our names in a heaven full of stars
