Save Me
My Darkest Days Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Spanish lullabies under moonlit skies, we found love there.
Dancing in the sand, walking hand in hand both without a care.
Haunted by her past completely in her grasp, simply unaware.
Was it meant to last, it fell apart so fast, life is just not fair.

It's time to face what this love has done to me,
I can't escape, only your love can save me.
You're the only one who matters, and the only one for me,

Now I'm lonely until ever only your love can save me.

I've wanted this forever, but I want you all for me,
You can put me back together, only your love can save me.
Each day I'm in hell, everyone can tell by the look on my face,
Not one day goes by that I don't wonder why don't believe it's fate.

It's time to face what this love has done to me,
I can't escape, only your love can save me.
You're the only one who matters, and the only one for me,
Now I'm lonely until ever only your love can save me.

I've wanted this forever, but I want you all for me,
You can put me back together, only your love can save me.
Only your love can save me,
Whoa, whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh

Whoa, whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh
Only your love can save me.
You're the only one who matters, and the only one for me,
Now I'm lonely until ever only your love can save me.

I've wanted this forever, but I want you all for me,
You can put me back together, only your love can save me.
Whoa, whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh
Only your love can save me.

Whoa, whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh
Only your love can save me.
