It started off so well 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 love you till I die Save me save me save me I can't face this life alone Save me save me save me 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 save me Oh I'm naked and I'm far from home Each night I cry I still believe the lie I love you 'till I die Save me save me save me Save me save me oh save me Don't let me face my life alone Save me save me oh I'm naked and I'm far from home
