I can’t feel the beat of your heart

And I can feel mine too much

Your pain parallel to mine

Wishing I could link our souls

And take it away from you

Adding to my own reserve

I need to save you

My beautiful diamond in the rough

I need to save you

From feeling like an abandoned locked drawer

I need to save you

Because saving you might save me

I burn from the heat of your anguish

And shiver from the cold of your emptiness

I reach for your hand

As we crash through the waves

While we both try to tread water during the hurricane

I need to save you

Before you become a lost star in the sky

I need to save you

From your own wicked mental intrusions

I need to save you

From your skeletons under your bed

I long to make a transfer

To trade any leaflet of peace I’ve retained

For the drought in your heart

Allow you to repair your home

I’m trying to lasso the darkness

But the shadows always slip through

I need to save you

Before the marrow of your life dries up

I need to save you

Even if it means destroying myself in the process

I need to save you

Because saving you might save me
