Saved Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I had a plan, you'd had enough of working late
So I took my mothers car and the last money I saved
Blind to our tactless egos, the world was ours to take
We had it figured out, yeah we had it figured out
We were saved

[Verse 2]
You came from a good home
And a family that helped you through
Forever in the shadow of a brother you felt you could never live up to
And I watched you tailor yourself to satisfy the mood
I had you figured out, yeah I had you figured out

[Chorus]
But now you lie awake
And you curse the world for all of your mistakes
Well, you should have known that you would f*ck it up some day
You try to wish your careless heart away
But it's not enough, it's not enough
You won't be saved

[Verse 3]
We grew apart and I had to leave for foreign shores It seems that the plan I had worked out better than I thought
I swear you resented all the opportunities I had
So you filled that hole with women and alcohol

[Chorus]
But now you lie awake
And you curse the world for all of your mistakes
Well, you should have known that you would f*ck it up some day
You try to wish your careless heart away
But it's not enough, it's not enough
You won't be saved
Oh, no no

[Bridge]
You're just a child in your father's eyes
Now you've a child of your own
Oh, oh how you've grown

[Chorus]
But now you're lying awake
And you curse the world for all of your mistakes
Well, you should have known that you would f*ck it up some day
You try to wish your careless heart away
But it's not enough, no no no no no
You won't be saved
