lyrics

People always say
they don’t know what they want,
but I beg to differ, baby,
I think they know what they don’t.

I’ve been all alone,
but that don’t worry me.
I’m not looking for some stranger
to come and rescue me.

But I’m not afraid,
’cause it’s your love, baby,
I tried to take.
And I won’t be saved.
I want to lose myself
in your easy ways.

I know that in time
my memories will fade,
but I’m living them now
trying to ease the pain.

There are people in this
world you’ll know.
If you love them,
don’t be afraid to
tell them so.

I’m not afraid,
’cause it’s your love, baby,
I tried to take.
And I won’t be saved.
I want to lose myself
in your easy ways.
