Here the music video and the lyrics for one of my favourite songs ever. Enjoy!

"Savior"

                                                       

   (Verse 1)

It kills me not to know this but I've all but just forgotten

What the color of her eyes were and her scars or how she got them

As the telling signs of age rain down a single tear is dropping

Through the valleys of an aging face that this world has forgotten

There is no reconciliation that will put me in my place

And there is no time like the present to drink these draining seconds

But seldom do these words ring true when I'm constantly failing you

Like walls that we just can't break through until we disappear

(Chorus)

So tell me now

If this ain't love then how do we get out?

Because I don't know

That's when she said I don't hate you boy

I just want to save you while there's still something left to save

That's when I told her I love you girl

But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have

(Verse 2)

But the day pressed on like crushing weights

For no man does it ever wait

Like memories of dying days

That deafen us like hurricanes

Bathed in flames we held the brand

Uncurled the fingers in your hand

Pressed into the flesh like sand

Now do you understand?

(CHORUS)

(Bridge)

1000 miles away

There's nothing left to say

But so much left that I don't know

We never had a choice

This world is too much noise

It takes me under

It takes me under once again

I don't hate you

I don't hate you, no

(Chorus)

I don't hate you

I don't hate you, no
