She Doesn't Need Saving

Beverly Craven · Other Songs - Beverly Craven

It's easier here on the outside
telling her what we'd do
if they put us in her position
if we were stood in her shoes
But destiny's already written
and she has to learn to survive
so leave her to make those decisons
and take back control of her life

She doesn't need saving
she's not given up yet
all she needs is our faith to replace her regret
and help her forget

So give her some time to grow stronger
and let her decide what to do
she's been through so many changes
and right now she's still confused

But when she's discovered the answers
she doesn't feel so afraid
she'll have the power of wisdom
and no-one can take that away

She doesn't need saving
she's not given up yet
all she needs is our faith to replace her regret
and help her forget

the past and the pain
and try to start over again
cos she knows
where she wants to go
so leave her alone
trust her to find her own way

She doesn't need saving she doesn't need
she's not given up yet
all she needs is our faith to replace her regret

She doesn't need saving she doesn't need
she's not given up yet
all she needs is our faith to replace her regret
and help her forget

She doesn't need saving
