  • I saw a savior
    A savior come my way
    I thought I'd see it
    At the cold light of day
    But now I realize that I'm
    Only for me

    If only I could see
    You turn myself to me
    And recognize the poison in my heart
    There is no other place
    No one else I face
    The remedy, it will agree, with how I feel

    Here am I reflecting
    What more can I say?
    For I am guilty
    For the voice that I obey
    Too scared to sacrifice a choice
    Chosen for me

    If only I could see
    You turn myself to me
    And recognize the poison in my heart
    There is no other place
    No one else I face
    The remedy, it will agree, with how I feel Writer/s: BETH GIBBONS, GEOFFREY PAUL BARROW
