You Saved My Life

by Gee McC   May 11, 2008


You see me hear but you don't make a sound, you watch my world coming crashing down
Words hit harder than fists you should know, when you tell them "Enough now let her go"

Your voice is running through my ears as I run, for I'm just the target and there just the gun
You face is haunting as I swallow them down, I scream out for you, with no hope, as I drown

I lay there alone in a white screaming room, feeling myself fade whilst you finally bloom
You took all I had left and watched as it died, as you revel in revenge for the nights you cried

I defend you until I'm left with nothing to say and I tell them how you took my breathe away
They'd hate me if they knew what I'd become, left so scared of myself after all that I've done

So I sat there broken, painfully full of regret, as I told them about the day you and I first met
How we woke early, still entwined in each other, my friend, my best friend, then my lover

Each day I go on because it's all I can do, they grow increasingly scared of losing me to you
I know what they feel and what they say, I understand because I've watched a soul fade away

Because of you once more, I've lost my self worth, yet I know that you'll always come first
In this demoralizing battle you won yet again you're aloud to move on whilst I'm still in pain

Each day I go on, each night I scream, trapped in my living nightmare, my unwakeable dream
It hits me again, and stupidly I let it drag me back down I think of you as the tears fall down

There as I cry, again I get ready to leave, ok knowing that soon they'll be preparing to greave
I smile because I know that I can finally wake up from this place where I only ever muck up

Then I see her face and it happens again, I know how much it hurts to lose your best friend
I think about her and the pain fades away because I remember her holding my hand that day

So I fall asleep knowing that although it hurts, she will be there to carry me through the worst
When everything was wrong she was always right, once again she came and she saved my life
