Save Me
Junior Turner Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Only a boy who didn′t know
What was right & where to go

Looked in her eyes & swept away
Young & innocent led astray

I don't know why or don′t know how this is all going to end
How am I here I thought that we were only friends

This is all wrong it can't go on i've got so much to lose
Head and my heart are speaking so loud but which one do I choose

And I wanna cry
Said I don′t know why
Won′t someone save me

And I wanna cry
Said i'm hurt inside
Won′t you save me

Now I look back and I was wrong
To let you hurt me for so long

All those hurtful things you'd say
Makes me a better man today

How I got through with all that you did is something I don′t know
So many years wasted on you with nothing here to show

I worked it all out you played me for a fool and I just couldn't stay
Your stuck in your ways you wont ever change I had to walk away

And I wanna cry
Said I don′t know why
Won't someone save me

And I wanna cry
Said i'm hurt inside
Won′t you save me

How many times did you make me cry
Turned your back so you could smile

I hope you fall with your wicked ways
I hope one day you′ll feel my pain

And I wanna cry
Said I don't know why
Won′t someone save me

And I wanna cry
Said i'm hurt inside
Won′t you save me

Never make wishes in the dark
Can't be sure when they′ll make their mark

Now my story has been told
Time for the future to unfold
