Who's Gonna Save You When I'M Gone
My footprints bled into your carpet,
My tear-stained cheeks dried by the sunset.
For one last kiss to you I’m drawn,
But whose lips will you kiss when I’m gone?
I won’t look back over my shoulder,
I’ll keep my balance, won’t fall over,
But I must go, it’s nearly dawn.
Who’ll sleep next to you when I’m gone?
I hear my name roll off your tongue
Softer than a song unsung,
My hands reach for something to hold on.
Who’s gonna love you whole when I’m gone?
Then you stand up and I stand still,
Your spirit’s broken, so is my will.
You walk away, I come undone.
Who’s gonna save you when I’m gone?
