Save Me
Elton John · Other Songs - Elton John
They said we made a perfect pair
I clothed myself in your glory and your love
How I loved you,
How I cried.....
The years of care and loyalty
Were nothing but a sham it seems
The years belie we lived a lie
'I'll love you 'til I die'
Save me Save me Save me
I can't face this life alone
Save me Save me Oh...
I'm naked and I'm far from home
The slate will soon be clean
I'll erase the memories,
To start again with somebody new
Was it all wasted
All that love?.....
I hang my head and I advertise
A soul for sale or rent
I have no heart, I'm cold inside
I have no real intent
Save me Save me Save me
I can't face this life alone
Save me Save me Oh...
I'm naked and I'm far from home
How I loved you,
How I cried.....
The years of care and loyalty
Were nothing but a sham it seems
The years belie we lived a lie
'I'll love you 'til I die'
Save me Save me Save me
I can't face this life alone
Save me Save me Oh...
I'm naked and I'm far from home
Each night I cry, I still believe the lie
I'll love you 'til I die
