I want to write a song that will save someone
Even though no one has ever saved me
Popular songs, songs from yesteryear too
Are about other people’s lives, not my own
Please understand how I feel
Nobody understands me, I know
I won’t tell anyone, not even in this song
If it is for your benefit
Friends, family, lovers I can no longer see
To remember them is to love them
You’re not alone in my memories
You were loved
I want to write a song that will save someone
Even though no one has ever saved me
I envy those who share their fears
I think I can’t stand to be so easily understood
I get scared in the quiet night
What if I’ll always be alone?
My cramped apartment, always the same lineup
Talk until the morning light
To remember that, to avoid forgetting that
I’ll write it all down here
Now someone somewhere will remember you
It’s ok
I won’t tell anyone, not even in this song
I love you, and for that reason alone
I came into this world I’ll never forget you
Even if I’m not by your side
You’re not alone in my memories
You were loved
I want to write a song that will save someone
Even though I’m the one who is always saved
You’re not alone in my memories
You were loved
