Saviour

I guess you were someone
I could believe in
Someone I could put my faith into
But you had me stumbling
You had me grieving
Coming unstuck, coming unglued
And I guess that's just the way it goes
I guess that's the way it is
An awkward smile, a bloody nose, the lipgloss on your lips

I want you to be my saviour
Like you, you know that you could
I want you to be my lover
Like you, you know that you should

I guess I was someone
You had been missing
Someone you could sink your teeth into
But I was confusing, you were misleading
Two sides of a story, partly true
And I guess that's just the way it is
I guess that's the way it goes
When I said you should keep them
But you still returned my clothes

I want you to be my saviour
Like you, you know that you could
I want you to be my lover
Like you, you know that you should

And all of the times that I lied
When I told you I could do better
The things I wrote in that letter
And all of the times that you cried
The tears running down to your sweater
Well, I didn't mean to upset ya
I just don't wanna let ya go

You're always gonna be my saviour
Like you, like only you could
I'm always gonna be your lover
Like we, we knew that I would
And with one hand on the book
I'll pray like I should
