about

“Save Me” is a deep, dark song about mental abuse and illness. It features heavy acoustic and electric guitars and has a grunge/country feel.

lyrics

Long ago, trampled under foot unknown
So slow, we buried these bad memories
Now I cave under pressure from your mind
So save me, so I don’t have to suffer, please

You go and you can look away one more time
But once you’re gone, my sanity flees, and I need it

Can’t you see it?
Look at these eyes and study what’s inside
See, I needed you
But you looked away, look away one more time
Don’t cry me a river, because this river done run dry
I won’t find my way back home
If you can’t save me from my own mind

Sad face cripples me in my place
A head of guilt and thoughts, they still remind me
That day, I laid in wait for the dead
To take away, take me from my mind again

You go and you can look away one more time
But once you’re gone, my sanity flees, and I need it

Can’t you see it?
Look at these eyes and study what’s inside
See, I needed you
But you looked away, look away one more time
Don’t cry me a river, because this river done run dry
I won’t find my way back home
If you can’t save me from my own mind

Can’t you see it?
Look at these eyes and study what’s inside
See, I needed you
So you looked away, look away one more time
Don’t cry me a river, because this river done run dry
I won’t find my way back home
No, I won’t find my way back home
If you can’t save me from my own mind

Save me from my own mind
Save me from my own mind
