ÄNGLARNAS SÅNGBOK

SAVIOUR

Rihanna känner hur hon långsamt trycks ner av sin make, Benjamin Vortigern som håller hemligheter för henne om sitt förflutna och fortsätter att stänga henne ute från hans känslor. Efter att han hotat henne, känner Rihanna att hon inte orkar mer och sången symboliserar hennes utmaning att få Benjamin att öppna upp sitt hjärta för henne och samtidigt hålla sig själv från att krossas inuti.

[Rihanna]
No, this feeling is nothing knew
I see angels and demons
And heaven and hell
When I look at you
I try to escape but your lies
And promises are more real to me
Than the truth
That's how it's always been
From the start

Now you're begging me
'Cause your mind and your heart
is a cage
And you say
I'm the only one who can set you free
So blinded by your pain
That you can't see the chains that are binding me
I've got my own demons in my heart

I'm not your saviour
I'm just trying to keep myself
From getting burned by the fire
I won't sacrifice myself to make you
stronger
'When I now know you'll never do the same for me
Save yourself and finally let me go
To let me breathe

You're unsatisfied
So you wave your mistakes right in front
Of my face like you think they're mine to take
You won't ever take the blame but
Somehow, you still expect me to sympathize
I won't let you bring me down

I'll never be your saviour
I'm just trying to keep myself
From getting burned by the fire (fire... fire...)
I won't sacrifice myself to make you
stronger (stronger... stronger...)
'When I now know you'll never do the same for me
Save yourself and finally let me go
Let me breathe

You've buried yourself so far in the ground
I offer a hand to help pull you back out
But now I feel your misery just wanted company

I'm not your saviour, I'll never be your saviour
No, not this time
I won't let you bring me down

I'm not your saviour
I'm just trying to keep myself
From getting burned by the fire (fire... fire...)
I won't sacrifice myself to make you
stronger
'When I now know you'll never do the same for me
Save yourself and finally let me go
Let me breathe
