Savior

For the thousandth time
I pieced you back together late at night
How many more times will it take
To keep you off your knees?

Pull me close
Keep begging me to fix what I can’t heal
You’ve put that crown of thorns on me
For the last time

I can’t be your saving grace
How sweet the sound, when you come calling
After me, but I keep running
I can’t bear your cross

Darling I
I try to be Superman sometimes
When I can barely save myself
I try to be the therapy to your pain
But I can’t fill that void forever
If I could, I’d dry every last tear
Can’t heal a broken world if it’s the ash that I return to
I’d give my life, but it wouldn’t save yours
Don’t put your faith in me
I’ll try my best but I will break you

I’m not your Savior

I wish you all the bravery I gained standing up for you
Never meant to be so harsh, but didn’t I exchange my youth for you?
I fought for you a thousand times but nothing ever changed
Rob me of my strength, but He’ll love you anyway

I can’t be your saving grace
How sweet the sound, when you come calling
After me, but I keep running
I can’t bear your cross

Darling I
I try to be Superman sometimes
When I can barely save myself
I try to be the therapy to your pain
But I can’t fill that void forever
If I could, I’d dry every last tear
Can’t heal a broken world if it’s the ash that I return to
I’d give my life, but it wouldn’t save yours
Don’t put your faith in me
I’ll try my best but I will break you

I can’t be your saving grace
How sweet the sound, when you come calling
After me, but I keep running
I can’t bear your cross

Darling I
I try to be Superman sometimes
When I can barely save myself
I try to be the therapy to your pain
But I can’t fill that void forever
If I could, I’d dry every last tear
Can’t heal a broken world if it’s the ash that I return to
I’d give my life, but it wouldn’t save yours
Don’t put your faith in me
I’ll try my best but I will break you

I’m not your Savior
I’m not your Savior
But there’s a Savior Who saved me
And He’s waiting for you
