*Save Me*

Save me from the dark.
Save me from the pain,
Open my eyes and let me see the light,

Save me from these tears,
Save me from all these fears,
Help me overcome,

Why do you do this to me,
Make me feel this way?
Show me that you care,

I wanna wake up,
From this nightmare,
Save me!

I don’t wanna live in the dark anymore,
It’s getting lonely,
And I need you to open the door,

Save me from reality,
Save me from myself,
Don’t hurt me...please,

I’m nothing,
Worthless
