Save My Life
[Verse 1]
You leave a trail of my broken tears
Empty words for me to fall
Broadway at dark is where you left my heart
Love is cursed in a bar
Now I can’t get up, now I can’t get down
With all the games that you play
You shut me up and you shut me out
It’s all the same, nothing’s changed

[Pre-Chorus]
Got me on the ledge where you keep me waiting
Standing on the edge and I’m begging, begging
I can’t read your mind, won’t you help me draw the line?

[Chorus]
Save my life, set me free
These lonely nights are haunting me
Cut me out from the cold
This young heart is getting old
Save my life, set me free
Yes or no is all I need
You don’t want me, darling, let me know
Just say goodbye and I’ll go

[Verse 2]
You’re taking more than you even need
See, you just keep me hard up
Watch the minutes stare, they pass me by
Watch the hours flare, push the throttle
[Pre-Chorus]
Got me on the ledge where you keep me waiting
Standing on the edge and I’m begging, begging
I can’t read your mind, won’t you help me draw the line?

[Chorus]
Save my life, set me free
These lonely nights are haunting me
Cut me out from the cold
This young heart is getting old
Save my life, set me free
Yes or no is all I need
You don’t want me, darling, let me know
Just say goodbye and I’ll go

[Bridge]
Hold onto me, hold onto me
Hold onto me, I try to fight it
Hold onto me, hold onto me
Hold onto me, it just ain’t right
Hold onto you, hold onto you
Hold onto you, make up your mind
Hold onto you, hold onto you
Hold onto you, I ain’t got time

[Chorus]
Save my life, set me free
These lonely nights are haunting me
Cut me out from the cold
This young heart is getting old
Save my life, set me free
Yes or no is all I need
You don’t want me, darling, let me know
Just say goodbye and I’ll go
Just say goodbye and I’ll go
