I never claimed to be a savior I never claimed a whole hell of a lot Look around your cluttered bedroom At all the things i haven't got I might have claimed that i could save her But it looks like i was wrong I look around her cluttered bedroom And wonder where she's gone Sad can't last forever Cos nothing ever does To me you're more than just another face in the crowd And i don't want to whisper but i can't say this all out loud You know the sun is always shining above his bed of clouds And it's the prettiest up here when it's raining downtown Of course i wish that i could save her And so do all of you And we try our best every day But what the hell can we do We're all pretending we can save her And make her live her own life But the day i even close my eyes Is the day that she'll pick up that knife Sad can't last forever cos nothing ever does And we can't be together If there's no such thing as love
