My Love Ain't Gonna Save You

I was alone

When I left home

Staring ahead at the great unknown

I was scared

And unprepared

I was looking for somewhere to rest my head

And you said

My love ain’t gonna save you (my love, my love)

My love ain’t gonna change you (my love, my love)

Love’s not real ‘till it scares you (my love, my love)

Love’s not real ‘till it tears you (my love, my love)

You lay there and you let me stare

It’s the greatest, deepest love affair

And I’m seeing you now ‘cause our love’s so loud

These walls are so thin they may as well come down

Use your head

It’s no use

You’re so tangled up you can hardly move

My love ain’t gonna save you (my love, my love)

My love ain’t gonna change you (my love, my love)

Love’s not real ‘till it scares you (my love, my love)

Love’s not real ‘till it tears you (my love, my love)

Oooooh

Oooh-oooh (my love, my love)

Ooooh,

Oooh-oooh

Do you believe in love when it’s unkind?

Do you believe that love? Will it change your mind?

I told myself, “play it cool”

And you said

My love ain’t gonna save you (my love, my love)

My love ain’t gonna change you (my love, my love)

Love’s not real ‘till it scares you (my love, my love)

Love’s not real ‘till it tears you (my love, my love)

My-my-my-my love…
