Save You
Simple Plan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just another step until I reach the door
You'll never know the way it tears me up inside to see you...
I wish that I could tell you something to take it all away
Sometimes I wish I could save you,
And there's so many things that I want you to know
I won't give up 'til it's over
If it takes you forever, I want you to know...
When I hear your voice,
It's drowning in the whispers
It's just skin and bones,
There's nothing left to take
And no matter what I do,
I can't make you feel better
If only I could find the answer to help me understand...
Sometimes I wish I could save you,
And there's so many things that I want you to know
I won't give up 'til it's over
If it takes you forever, I want you to know...
If you fall, stumble down, I'll pick you up off the ground
If you lose faith in you, I'll give you strength to pull through
Tell me you won't give up,
'Cause I'll be waiting if you fall
You know I'll be there for you
If only I could find the answer to take it all away...
Sometimes I wish I could save you,
And there's so many things that I want you to know
I won't give up 'til it's over
If it takes you forever, I want you to know...
I wish I could save you...
I want you to know...
I wish I could save you...

"Save You"
Take a breath
I pull myself together
Just another step till I reach the door
You'll never know the way it tears me up inside to see you
I wish that I could tell you something
To take it all away
Sometimes I wish I could save you
And there're so many things that I want you to know
I won't give up till it's over
If it takes you forever I want you to know
When I hear your voice
Its drowning in a whisper
It's just skin and bones
There's nothing left to take
And no matter what I do I can't make you feel better
If only I could find the answer
To help me understand
Sometimes I wish I could save you
And there're so many things that I want you to know
I wont give up till it's over
If it takes you forever I want you to know
That if you fall, stumble down
I'll pick you up off the ground
If you lose faith in you
I'll give you strength to pull through
Tell me you won't give up cause I'll be waiting if you fall
Oh you know I'll be there for you

I wish I could save you
I want you to know
(Ohohh)

It feels shitty that people don't care about a band that has a meaning so deep, not just this song but so many across so many albums. Simple Plan has had songs about every problem in life and in my teens I would listen to them at night and it would all be better. They mean so much even today. This is what music is all about. I hope they read this and know they made more difference than other so called famous singers ever will. Amen.
