Save me

I can't run this time

am I under a spell?

fighting for my life?

so far gone

can't turn it round

I feel buried alive

I am screaming out


Terror in your eyes, your heart is racing

for the innocence we lost will not return

we know we can't go on

but we're still holding on

don't let me be the one to drag you down


In the silence

in the lonely night

when you're frozen with fear

when you're paralyzed

too delicate

your fragile mind

it's so hard to stay

in love with life


Terror in your eyes, your heart is racing

for the innocence we lost will not return

we know we can't go on

but we're still holding on

don't let me be the one to drag you down


I was fighting at your side

a knowing partner in this crime

a beating heart, a distant star

we lost all we were fighting for

all the hurt I kept within

I blamed myself for everything

for all the regret that remains

for all the pain


Terror in your eyes, your heart is breaking

for the innocence we lost will not return

we know we can't go on

but we're still holding on

don't let me be the one to drag you down

to drag you down...
