My Saving Grace
ATB(www.irhits2.com) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is reach into the heart of you
Is as simple and true as the love you inspire in me
So let me fall

If I go, would you wait? Would you wonder
Would you know what I'm thinking and why I'm ashamed
Of the girl I am and the stranger that I became
Hold tight to the heart of an angel you'll never know
'Cause her face looks a little like mine
And it keeps you going just knowing I'm here tonight

So let me fall, let me love you
Let me free your inner child
Let me sit inside your silence
Let me ease the hurt you hide

'Cause I'm alive, I'm unlucky
I'm a line too fine to trace
But I could be your consolation
If you'd be my saving grace

My wild world is the shape of a sound that can't be heard
But it rings when I'm unraveled by you
There's a quiet storm and my skin gets torn and I wake brand new
Higher and brighter than yesterday
But I'm still a dark, mysterious night
When the sun descends and the moon leads you to my side

So let me fall, let me love you
Let me free your inner child
Let me sit inside your silence
Let me ease the hurt you hide

'Cause I'm alive, I'm unlucky
I'm a line too fine to trace
But I could be your consolation
If you'd be my saving grace

Is reach into the heart of you
Is as simple and true as the love you inspire in me
So let me fall
Is reach into the heart of you




Is as simple and true as the love you inspire in me
So let me fall, let me fall
