If I told you I love whiskey girls, you'd drink your life away/
If I said my love came with a price, you'd find the means to pay/
If I told you you you should follow me, you'd leave your home today/
but I can't save you....
Save me the tears of a childhood gone wrong/
You know that I don't want to write a love song/
I guess it turns out we were ******** all along/
and I can't save you....
(chorus):
You don't know how lucky you are/
You're wishing again on a shooting star/
I can't save that smile/ I can't capture the joy/
I can give you my word that I am by far/
not the only one.../ I am not a god...
Hurricane maddness distorts all our views/
We reach out our tongues for a taste of good news/
We wonder how long we can take the abuse/
cuz I can't save you...
Kiss me goodnight like I kissed her goodbye/
I do or do not, cuz I know there's no "try"/
The doubt and the fear are erased from your eyes/
but I can't save you...
(chorus)
(Bridge):
I cant save you myself when I need my own savior/
Though I can admit, we look good on paper/
I cant save you/ I cant save you
I dont know the difference of the moon to the sun/
We've laid down our cards and we've had all our fun
I can't save you/ I can't save you
I'm drunk so I stutter when I sing your praise/
We're locked in our minds so we count down the days/
I've failed you again in so many ways/
and you just saved me
Dumbfounded and dying, I beg at your feet/
You feed me my share of our sordid deafeat/
It tastes like the explosion of when our lips meet/
and you just saved me
(chorus)
You dont know how lucky you are/
You're wishin again on a shootin star/
with a grin on your face/ You trace galaxies/
and I have realized that you are by far/
the only one.../ We have just begun...

- Wow, I really like it! The rhythm is solid, the word use, creative, the use of cliches is so clever, and, somehow it just feels really real. I guess it's the cycle and growth that the person goes through. And the honesty. It's bittersweet, but leaves room for hope at the end. 5/5 ^^

- You spelled tongue wrong. And I like it. I would love to hear the melody of the words. Music is irreplaceable to lyrics.
