How do I save you from a fate so sweet
As being torn to pieces by a loving hand?
How do I save you from a voice so soft
As that which acquiesces to your each demand?
How do I look upon the eyes I love
And send them down this path, I know it isn't right.
How do I make you realize, my love,
That there is more to fear than strangers in the night?
How do I save you?
How do I set you free?
Behind the curtain waits a darker world.
If I can't make you leave,
How can I save you from me?
I think you've had enough experience
To differentiate between a heart of gold,
And what you cradle in your gentle arms,
Can you not recognize a soul already sold?
How do I save you from the things I've been?
I can't deny the past, it's written on my face.
How do I save you from the mess you're in,
When I can't make you leave this torturous embrace?
How do I save you?
How do I set you free?
Behind the curtain waits a darker world
If I can't make you leave
How can I save you from me?
