Rescue me
Smith & Mighty feat. L.D. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Won't you reach for me, hold me
Lead the way for me, show me
How to love
Much to learn, now I've lost my love
Teach me how to forgive
When all seems lost for us
I've lost that virtue now
I have no reasons left in this world
To haste for now
Rescue me, help me
Won't you reach for me, hold me
Lead the way for me, show me
How to love
Develop me, from this waste that I am
Only flesh with no meaning, each breath without feeling
Each heart a lie
Draw from me what little goodness is left
And mould it to a form that fits your purpose best
Rescue me, help me
Won't you reach for me hold me
Lead the way for me, show me
How to love
Rescue me, help me
Won't you reach for me hold me
Lead the way for me, show me
How to love
Much to learn, now I've lost my love
Teach me how to forgive
When all has been lost for us
Surely you know and you only may care
That a love that is lost has mademe it's heir
In limbo waltz i, in sorrow I lie
Only flesh with no meaning, each breath without feeling
Each heart beat a lie
Rescue me, help me
Won't you reach for me, hold me
Lead the way for me, show me
How to love
Lead the way, help me, hold me, show me
How to love, take me, teach me
I've so much to learn, how to love
