Saving You Won’t Save My Soul by Melodie Yvonne Ramey
Forgotten names I won’t remember
My heart’s cold just like December
Soul’s a pile of burning embers
Still I glow but you defend her
Walked away but still I linger
Never wanted to see clearer
Here I stand now, I’m your mirror
All these lies you see go deeper
Wish I may and wish I might
Be myself alone tonight
‘Cause anytime that you get near
My whole body’s filled with fear
Wish I may and wish I might
Be myself alone tonight
‘Cause I still care more than you know
But saving you won’t save my soul
You still wish you were her dinner
Scared that she is gettin’ thinner
But you lost and she’s the winner
Might as well have stuck it in her
Still I sit here and I linger
Wishing you’d stop pointing fingers
Your white wash won’t make her cleaner
Tired of eyes that only see her
Wish I may and wish I might
Be myself alone tonight
‘Cause anytime that you get near
My whole body’s filled with fear
Wish I may and wish I might
Be myself alone tonight
‘Cause I still care more than you know
But saving you won’t save my soul
