Lyrics
I can see that your mind is made up After all the energy I take up I fear now that nothing can save us cause both of us neither one of us is the same us See I don’t even blame you for the where What, when, how, now it’s all pointless to care And I know I treated you badly But hardly a reason to let your madness mandate your Thoughts and actions Just take a second and you’ll see (I’m the man that you thought I was) There is no place that I’d rather be than (In your arms with all this behind us) So please put the gun down angel We can both find peace of mind and If you just give me one more chance I swear on everything it will be different this time

(When I was a young man my father told me) (Hold everything that you love closely) (Don’t let it slip through) (When I said I loved you I thought that you did too)

And now I’m sorry for what I did Can’t you find it in your heart just to forgive Can’t you remember a little piece of what we had Cause if you pull the trigger, sweetie, there’s no turning back

(Save me) (My baby’s got a bullet with my name) (She wants to put it inside my brain) (I fucked things up, isn’t that enough) (What can I say) (I’m sorry couldn’t give you everything) (I’m sorry couldn’t, I’m sorry as in please)

I never said that I was innocent so isn’t it Typical that of course a compulsive sinner would sin again The two of us like a courtroom with it’s litigants pinned against One another convinced the other shouldn’t win against So I guess in a sense I’ll end up the victim Why do my pleas seem to fall on deaf ears and I’m so sorry for the hurt that I caused you The kind of darkness that grows over the gears and I can see that it’s consumed the whole of you (There’s nothing left of the you I thought I knew) Oh darling I can still feel a soul in you (Should have said goodbye and just let go of you) But I didn’t I tried to hold on Where on Earth did we both go so wrong The same song repeats itself all day long So until then, so long

(When I was a young man my mother told me) (Hold everything that you love closely) (Don’t let it slip through) (You just have to hang on even if it kills you)

So if this is my final goodbye I Want you to know that I honestly tried I Tell you I love you one last time You couldn’t save me but I’ll still see you on the other side

(Save me) (My baby’s got a bullet with my name) (She wants to put it inside my brain) (I fucked things up, isn’t that enough) (What can I say) (I’m sorry couldn’t give you everything) (I’m sorry couldn’t, I’m sorry as in please)

There’s nothing left of the you I thought I knew

When I said I loved you I thought that you did too

(Save me)

(Save me) (My baby’s got a bullet with my name) (She wants to put it inside my brain) (I fucked things up, isn’t that enough) (What can I say) (I’m sorry couldn’t give you everything) (I’m sorry couldn’t, I’m sorry as in) (My baby’s got a bullet with my name) (She wants to put it inside my brain) (I fucked things up, isn’t that enough) (What can I say) (I’m sorry couldn’t give you everything) (I’m sorry couldn’t, I’m sorry as in)
