Lyrics

I walked on the edge
And I didn’t fear death
‘Til you talked me down
I wasn’t there
And I didn’t care
‘Til you showed me how
I used to be a wild animal
Howling at the moon
I didn’t know
All my pain flowed
From a self-inflicted wound.

Now I’m saving myself
I’m saving myself
I’m saving myself for you.

Everyone said
That true love was dead
I believed it was true
But on a summer night
I saw your light
As it came racing through

Now I’m saving myself
I’m saving myself
I’m saving myself for you.

And all my suicide dreams
And all my desperate schemes
They were never meant to last
And I know I don’t have to fight
The promise of the morning light
As all the shadows of the night
Fade into my past

I said goodbye to the streets
To the liars and cheats
To the poverty and the rust
I held on to you
With a love proud and true
That could never be left in the dust

Now I’m saving myself
I’m saving myself
I’m saving myself for you.
