The One to Save

[Verse 1]

Sometimes I wish I was dead and gone

That I walked this world no more

And all my troubles would pass away

As I walked through Heaven's door

As long as I can remember now

Been out here on my own

Oh how I wish I was in your arms

To rest my achin' bones

[Chorus]

And put me in the water

And put me in my grave

But no matter what you want from me

I ain't the one to save

[Verse 2]

It's lonely in a border town

Where no one knows your name

I'd spin this world right into the ground

'Til only life remains

When doors are shut for you my dear

You simply break them down

But I just sat there biding my time

Until the keys just came around

[Chorus]

And put me in the water

And put me in my grave

But no matter what you want from me

I ain't the one to save

[Verse 3]

There's holy ghosts and blinded eyes

They're fighting for my soul

I ain't the man that you thought you knew

I ain't that man no more

Remember when we owned it all

Those days went by so slow

But all those times are past and gone

And I've got nowhere to go

[Chorus]

And put me in the water

And put me in my grave

But no matter what you want from me

I ain't the one to save

And put me in the water

And put me in my grave

But no matter what you want from me

I ain't the one to save

[Outro]

But no matter what you want from me

I ain't the one to save
