Salvation

Jem Warren

Compositor: Jem Warren

A day spent by myself has shed some new light
That I should be lonely for the rest of my life.
No one to act as if they own my soul,
Nobody there with whom I can grow old.

You’ve been more kind than I thought could be true.
I wish I could say I’d do the same thing for you.
But I can’t relinquish my security
With someone who’s lowly enough to love me.

And maybe I was once in love with you,
But I can’t seem to lose the wounds
From the hell you used to put me through.
And baby I refuse to show you any gratitude,
Salvation attained without you.

Love works for those who don’t live with regret
From heartbreak they haven’t experienced yet.
Love works for children, my mom always said,
It worked for my father like a hole in his head.

Now I was misguided when I was a child
Promised compassion and took for a ride
From which I can say I’ve never truly returned.
Love left me broken and love left me burned.

And maybe I was once in love with you,
But I can’t seem to lose the wounds
From the hell you used to put me through.
And baby I refuse to show you any gratitude,
Salvation attained…

And maybe I was once in love with you,
But I can’t seem to lose the wounds
From the hell you used to put me through.
And baby I refuse to show you any gratitude,
Salvation attained...
Salvation attained...
Salvation attained without you…
Without you…
