I CAN'T SAVE YOU

เนื้อเพลง

[INTRO – MALE LEAD] I held on when the world let go Tried to reach you down below I gave you everything I had But love can’t bring back what you lost [VERSE 1 – MALE LEAD] I’ve seen the man I fell in love with fade Watched every promise slowly break I’ve stood beside you through the lies And tried to find the truth behind your eyes I’ve picked up pieces you left behind While losing pieces of my own life I kept believing you’d find your way But every tomorrow looked like yesterday [FEMALE RESPONSE] I was there… I never walked away. [PRE-CHORUS – MALE & FEMALE] MALE: How many times can a heart break twice? FEMALE: How many tears can we pay with our lives? MALE: I’d carry the weight if it made you whole BOTH: But I can’t fight a war you won’t let go [CHORUS – BOTH, BIG AND POWERFUL] I can’t save you, I can’t change you I can’t make you see what you’re putting me through I’d have saved you a thousand times But you had to want to save your own life I’ll stand beside you, but I can’t drown too I’ve given everything I had to you I still love you, God knows it’s true But I can’t save you… I can’t save you [VERSE 2 – MALE LEAD] I’ve learned to read the silence in your face To feel the distance when you walk away I’ve held my breath through another night Wondering if you’ll make it through alive And every time I thought we’d reached the end I’d find another reason to believe again But I can’t keep breaking just to keep you whole I can’t lose myself trying to save your soul [FEMALE RESPONSE] I love you… but I’m hurting too. [PRE-CHORUS – MALE & FEMALE] MALE: I gave you chances, I gave you time FEMALE: I gave you everything, including mine MALE: But there’s a choice that only you can make BOTH: And I can’t keep living through another heartbreak [CHORUS – BOTH, BIG AND POWERFUL] I can’t save you, I can’t change you I can’t make you see what you’re putting me through I’d have saved you a thousand times But you had to want to save your own life I’ll stand beside you, but I can’t drown too I’ve given everything I had to you I still love you, God knows it’s true But I can’t save you… I can’t save you [GUITAR SOLO – BIG, MELODIC, EMOTIONAL 80s ROCK SOLO] [BRIDGE – FEMALE LEAD, MALE ANSWERS] FEMALE: Don’t mistake my love for weakness MALE: Don’t mistake my staying for being blind FEMALE: I’ve seen the damage, felt the pain MALE: And still I’d choose you time and time again BOTH: But I can’t make the choice for you Can’t make your broken promises come true I’ll never say I didn’t care I just can’t keep losing myself in there [FINAL CHORUS – BOTH, FULL POWER] I can’t save you, I can’t change you I can’t make you see what you’re putting me through I’d have saved you a thousand times But you had to want to save your own life I’ll stand beside you, but I can’t drown too There’s still a part of me that believes in you I still love you, God knows it’s true But I can’t save you… I can’t save you [OUTRO – MALE & FEMALE] MALE: I never stopped loving you… FEMALE: I just can’t keep losing me… BOTH: I can’t save you… Only you can save yourself.
