Saved

I had this dream I could save you

I worked so hard to show you I care

Gave up everything for you

But even now

now that your gone

and that I've learned

Not even the words of a song could save you

I still can't accept

that people who don't want to be saved

can't be saved

because I wanted to save you so badly

but you wouldn't let me

I threw you the rope

but you wouldn't grab it

I grabbed your hand

but you let go

because you listened to the voice in your head

that said you didn't deserve to be saved

so you were untouchable

unaware of the pain you caused when you left

the hurt I carry

but now I understand, I hear the voice too

the voice whispers cruel unimaginable indescribable things

but as cruel as the words are, they are laced with temptation

tempation I cannot turn down

I too am unsavable

because I don't want to be saved
