some people want to be saved

others dont

some people can be saved

others cant

so before you go and try to save a person

ask them if they need saving. 

ask them if they want saving.

but not me. 

you know I need saving

you know I want saving

I just dont know how to ask you for it.


some people want you to listen

some dont

some people want to tell you how they feel

others dont

so dont assume people want you to listen, or they want to tell you how they feel

ask them first.

but you dont need to ask me.

you already know I need it. 

you already know that I want it.

But nobody comes to save me.

Nobody comes to listen

Nobody cares how im feeling

My mind is like a prison.


some people need you

but you weren't there

some people wanted you

but you didn't care

you did what you thought was best

but now that you think back to it

was it for the best? is this what they would have wanted?

did you make a mistake?

ask them. ask them what they want. ask them what they need.

but no, not me....

you simply cannot save me.
