Save Your Love
Barley-Bree (a.k.a. The Factotums) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Blatantly you give yourself to people so aimlessly
Trying to find someone to fill your vacancy
If I'm the competition this is major league
You're mistaking me for him wait and see
Once you're rearranging the pieces and trying to piece them
Together as one
Then you'll realize there's a reason that something is missing
You'll know where it's from
I see your face when you walk by
But I don't complain because I know you're trying
To find your way a step at a time
When you're feeling pain you got to make a change and try again
I don't know how long it'll take you
I just hope that you'll feel the same too
Babygirl I'm not going to make you
Just trying to persuade you to
Save your love
For when you're looking for somebody that you want to put your time into
Save your love
For when you're trying to find somebody that'll put the time in for you
Save your love
I want you to know that it's never over
Save your love you can save your love for me
It's obvious you need a little sense of belonging
Maybe it's your calling and you're busy responding
I'm a spectator but I hate that I'm watching
I don't have an option let me do the talking
Once you put the numbers together
You'll notice you're better when you're with me
Please don't keep me waiting forever
Just call me whenever eventually
I touch your face and you ask why
But you don't complain because you know I'm trying
To help you escape every time that you're feeling pain
I can be the change you can try again
I don't know how long it'll take you
I just hope that you'll feel the same too
Babygirl I'm not going to make you
Just trying to persuade you to
Save your love
For when you're looking for somebody that you want to put your time into
Save your love
For when you're trying to find somebody that'll put the time in for you
Save your love
I want you to know that it's never over
Save your love you can save your love for me yeah
Oh save your love
You can save your love for me




Save your love
I want you to know that it's never over
