Save You

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 

CHORUS 
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 

CHORUS
