Salvation

Caught in my throat
Three words I hope
Won't slip out of my mouth
Somehow
Hands tied in knots
Chained silver cross
Tied around my neck
I confess

I don't believe in ghosts
But I feel an invisible hold
And I don't believe in esteemed
Higher beings
But how would I know

I don't wanna ruin everything but
The walls around me are
Caving in cause
This stupid thing I call 'love for you'
Is controlling everything that I do
I don't wanna break everything we've made
But I can't go on admiring your face
And calling you a friend
Cause you're my salvation

Learning to breathe
So carefully
Around you, natural instinct
Comes hard
They ask 'what do you have to lose'
Well my one thing to lose in this
Is you
This dangerous longing to risk it all
Calls me

I don't believe in ghosts
But I feel an invisible hold
And if a higher power is
Listening
Tell me to stop

I don't wanna ruin everything but
The walls around me are
Caving in cause
This stupid thing I call 'love for you'
Is controlling everything that I do
I don't wanna break everything we've made
But I can't go on admiring your face
And calling you a friend
Cause you're my salvation

I never wanted to be saved by someone
But here I am hoping you'll take my shaking hands
It's pathetic, I know, hoping you wont go
Holding my tongue, I hate hope
Please don't run, I need someone
I'm scared of sharks but for you I'll jump
I've never been greedy but look at me
Hoping you'll hold me and give me more than I deserve
We're both scared of love, you love to run
I love to chase the things I know I shouldn't want

I don't wanna ruin everything but
The walls around me are
Caving in cause
This stupid thing I call 'love for you'
Is controlling everything that I do
I don't wanna break everything we've made
But I can't go on admiring your face
And calling you a friend
Cause you're my, you're my salvation

I can't go on calling you a friend
Cause you're my salvation
