  • Turn out the light
    Just say goodnight
    To yourself
    May I remind you
    When You find you
    Are all alone's when you
    You've got to be strong

    That's when they call you in the night
    He's got your picture
    in his mind
    He's got your number
    On a paper at his disposal any time

    Is it really true
    Did you save yourself for someone
    Who could love you for you
    So many times we just give it away
    To someone who, simeone who
    You met in a bar
    The back of a car
    And for a moment
    You felt important
    But not in your heart
    Cause my self esteem it's been low
    Go ahaead and count it's been lower than low(er)
    I know the feeling
    Of it stealing
    Life out from under me

    Cause i want to learn
    How you save yourself for someone who
    Could love you for you
    So many times we just give it away
    To someone who
    Couldn't even rememeber your name

    Could you save yourself
    For someone who
    Loves you for you
    And loves me for me
    Or give it away
    To someone who, someone who
    Could cherish your name


    Cause I want to learn
    Did you save yourself for someone who
    Loves you for you
    And Loves me for me
    To Give it away to someone who, someone who
    Will cherish your name

  • Niki from Cumming, GaThis has to be the best song ever written, the voice of the singer is so smooth and blends so well with the guitar!!!!! I love this song!!!!
  • Jj from Orange County, CaSense Field is the band. They were one of the founders of the "emo" movement and were part of the wave that included Sunny Day Real Estate, The Get Up Kids etc. Senses Fail is a band that came around much later. This song is not exemplary of Sense Field's music which in general is much more energetic.
  • Jon from Who Cares?, GaThis band is called Sense Field... Senses Fail is a totally different Band.. I know Sense Field only because this song was featured on Roswell.. not only that Sense Field has broken up. And it couldn't be Senses Fail for that reason also.
  • Brittany from Madison, AlThis is my favorite song... it's senses FAIL by the way... not senses FIELD
  • Nelson from Memphis, TnYes, Senses Fail is a different band.
  • Chris from Melbourne, AustraliaThe song is simply about saving yourself for someone who really loves you, and cares for you. And not throwing your virginity away to some guy who only wants you for sex.
  • Mehree from Calgary, CanadaIn response to Becky, 'Senses Fail' is a compleatly diffrent bad, the two have nothing to do with eachother...
  • Becky from Brookfield, Ctthe artist is called 'Senses Fail'
