How do I save you from a fate so sweet As being torn to pieces by a loving hand How do I save you from a voice so soft As that which acquiesces to your each demand How do I look upon the eyes I love And send them down this path, I know it isn't right How do I make you realize my love That there is more to fear than strangers in the night
CHORUS How do I save you How do I set you free Behind the curtain waits a darker world If I can't make you leave How can I save you from me
I think you've had enough experience To differentiate between a heart of gold And what you cradle in your gentle arms Can you not recognize a soul already sold How do I save you from the things I've been I can't deny the past, it's written on my face How do I save you from the mess you're in When I can't make you leave this torturous embrace
