Save You
ddSimple Plan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I pull myself together
Just another stair
Until I reach the door
You'll never know the way
It tears me up
Inside to see you(oooh oooh)
Tell you something(oooh oooh)
To take it all away
Sometimes
I wish I could save you
And there's so many things
That I want you to know
I won't give up
'Till it's over
If it takes you forever
I want you to know
When I hear you voice
It's drowning in whispers
It's just skin and bones
It's nothing left to take
And no matter what I do
I can't make you feel better(oooh oooh)
If I only
I could find the answer(oooh oooh)
To help me understand
Sometimes
I wish I could save you
And there's so many things
That I want you to know
I won't give up
'Till it's over
If it takes you forever
I want you to know
If you fall
Stumble down
I'll pick you up
Off the ground
If you lose faith in you
I give you straight
To pull through
Tell me you won't give up
Cause I'll be waiting
If you fall
You know
I'll be there for you
If only I could
Find the answer
To take it all away
Sometimes
I wish I could save you
And there's so many things
That I want you to know
I won't give up
'Till it's over
If it takes you forever
I want you to know
I wish I could save you
I want you to know
