I Need You to Save Me


You smile, I frown

Everybody seems to be accelerating

I'm stuck, can't move

But I know that I'm concentrating

I hate this feeling, it doesn't let me sleep at night

I can't go on like this, won't you just tell me what's right

 

Uncertainty's crawling over me

I'm going blind, I can't see

I've got no place left to breathe

If you see what's going on with me

Take my hang, help me out

Pull me out of the dark

With this uncertainty, I only wanna be

By your side, you protecting me

Cause I need you to save me

 

I'm scared to cry

Don't want you to see my heart beating

I love you so, but don't wanna see my past repeating

And I hate this tension between us

And I just wish that I'd grow up

Not be nervous

But I can't keep from going under

 

Uncertainty's crawling over me

I'm going blind, I can't see

I've got no place left to breathe

If you see what's going on with me

Take my hang, help me out

Pull me out of the dark

With this uncertainty, I only wanna be

By your side, you protecting me

Cause I need you to save me

 

Don't wanna admit

That I'm feeling weak right now

Don't wanna have to

Turn my path back right now

It's too many regrets

Too messed up to move on

Ground's slippery, wet

One false move, I'm on the ground

 

Uncertainty's crawling over me

I'm going blind, I can't see

I've got no place left to breathe

If you see what's going on with me

Take my hang, help me out

Pull me out of the dark

With this uncertainty, I only wanna be

By your side, you protecting me

Cause I need you to save me
