Save Me From Myself
You told me
to pull myself together
but you didn't say
what tore me
apart
You gave me
back my pieces
but that didn't
mend my broken
heart
All my dreams
come down to dust
and I must be so brave
to save me from myself
is the only thing I crave
I waited
for your answer
but there was nothing
in your words
to stop the pain
I knew that
romance was a killer
and now I'm feeling
dead again
All my dreams
come down to dust
and I must be so brave
to save me from myself
is the only thing I crave
You scarred me
with my own knife
and the blade cut deep
and true
But in the blame game
there's no winners
when I'm losing out
on you
All my dreams
come down to dust
and I must be so brave
to save me from myself
is the only thing I crave
You told me
to pull myself together
but you didn't say
what tore me
apart

A good piece Abra...I have liked the repetitive pattern in which you are crying as the narrator...it brings out situation of painful loss of love and being hurt so really...

Why thank you Anandosen - I always get a thrill from feedback. I can hear these words in my head now. Thanks for taking the trouble to comment.

still a powerful number which utilises your gift for crisp and almost chewable language. If you can sing and play a guitar, then I bet you could show those hacks on The X Factor a thing or two!

The only way you'd get me anywhere near that is if I could have my hero Simon Cowell's job. Thanks Jack, lol.
