Saved
Lily Kershaw Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i tried to accept you accepting me
and i tried to escape the fate awaiting me
and take times loose from my neck so i can breathe
and this could be
just for fun, just for kicks
cause i've had one too many drinks
cause i follow fear like faith
and i'll dig until the day my life is saved
my life is saved
saved
well i played up my virtue and hid my vice
i'd only show you naught if you first show me nice
cause i thought i knew what a woman's work was
i hid from view what you wanted most
it was playing god
and this could be
just for fun, just for kicks
cause i've had one too many drinks
and this heart cannot be fixed
cause i follow fear like faith
and i'll dig until the day my life is saved
my life is saved
saved
and this could be
just for fun, just for kicks
cause i've had one too many drinks
and this heart cannot be fixed
cause i follow fear like faith
and i'll dig until the day my life is saved
my life is saved
saved
cause i follow fear like faith
and i'll dig until the day my life is saved
my life is saved
saved
