No One's Gonna Save Me Now
Benjamin Tod Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've hit much lower than the dirty South
I can′t make rent
Two months past due
My back is bent and I still love you
No ones gonna save me now
No ones gonna save me now
Tomorrow I'll wake up and make you eggs
And while your cussing, on my knees I'll beg
Please believe I′ll ever be true
There′s no cutting bonds that tie me to you
No ones gonna save me now
No ones gonna save me now
Ill never know why you take me back
Love as deadly as a heart attack
My left arms numb my face is blue
There ain't no saving me from loving you
No ones gonna save me now
No ones gonna save me now

I will not repent cause I cause I don’t give a damn
You can send me to hell with the rest of my friends,
Right on Benjamin, I’ll be right there with you when it’s all said and done. Ain’t none of that “you’re invited but your friends can’t come” bullshit around here!
When can we get a copy of “what keeps me up now”? That’s by far my favorite right now but I can’t download it anywhere. Just YouTube or SoundCloud but only streaming. 11030 Over and Out
