Save Me
Jordin Sparks Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm all alone tonight,
No stars are shining on me
I'm thinkin' I'd be alright
If somebody would just call me, yeah

I know that I'm not crazy,
Everybody must get this way, sometimes
So look around,

For the people in your life that say

Save Me
I need somebody's help here
Thought it would be alright but
I'm not pullin' through on my own
Is anyone around who can Save Me
I'm fallin' down it's crazy
If this is the pain God gave me,
I'm cool with that,
But wont somebody Save Me

I guess you missed the signs,
But honey I can never blame you
I don't want ya feelin' guilty,
That'd keep you in pain too (oh)

Now I can't hear you when I'm far away, away
So maybe you could learn from this,
And help somebody else someday

Cause I'm human after all
And I could not catch my fall
And nobody ever came around my way
To check up on me and see if I was doin' alright
Nobody came to Save Me

Save Me
I need somebody's help here
Thought it would be alright but
I'm not pullin' through on my own
Is anyone around who can Save Me
I'm fallin' down it's crazy
If this is the pain God gave me,
I'm cool with that,
But wont somebody Save Me

Save Me from my demons
Save Me from myself
Save Me, somebody Save Me
I need someones help

(oh)

Save Me
I need somebody's help here
Thought it would be alright but
I'm not pullin' through on my own
Is anyone around who can Save Me
I'm fallin' down it's crazy
If this is the pain God gave me,
I'm cool with that,
But wont somebody Save Me (wont somebody save me)

Save Me
I need somebody's help here
Thought it would be alright but
I'm not pullin' through on my own
Is anyone around who can Save Me
I'm fallin' down it's crazy
If this is the pain God gave me,
I'm cool with that,
But wont somebody Save Me

(oh)
