Standard (EADGBE)

 How do I save you from a fate so sweet

 As being torn to pieces by a loving hand

 How do I save you from a voice so soft

 As that which acquiesces to your each demand

 How do I look upon the eyes I love

 And send them down this path, I know it isn’t right

 How do I make you realize my love

 That there is more to fear than strangers in the night

Chorus

How do I save you

How do I set you free

Behind the curtain waits a darker world

 If I can’t make you leave

 How can I save you from me

 I think you’ve had enough experience

 To differentiate between a heart of gold

 And what you cradle in your gentle arms

 Can you not recognize a soul already sold

 How do I save you from the things I’ve been

 I can’t deny the past, it’s written on my face

 How do I save you from the mess you’re in

 When I can’t make you leave this torturous embrace

Chorus
