God help me
I don’t see
How I can live this way
Any I don’t know why he’s
Touching me
Won’t you shine in my direction and help me
Won’t you lend me your protection and help me
God help me
Believe me
This wasn’t what I wanted, but no
I can’t leave
He’s got me
Won’t you shine in my direction and help me
Won’t you lend me your protection and help me
Am I guilty or am I just waiting around
For the tide to come in
So the truth can come out
And if I had a dollar for every time
I repented the sin
And commit the same crime
I’d be sitting on top of the world today
I’d be sitting on top of the world today
God help me
And just maybe
I’ll learn to help myself
Speak to me
Don’t leave me
He’s burning me
Won’t you shine in my direction and help me
Won’t you lend me your protection and help me
Places everyone, this is a test
Throw your stones, do your damage
Your worst and your best
All the world is a judge
But that doesn’t compare
To what I do to myself when you’re not there
And if I had a dollar for every time
I repented the sin
And commit the same crime
I’d be sitting on top of the world today
I’d be sitting on top of the world today
Don’t make me choose
I’ve got much to lose
For I am with you
And also with you
For I am with you
And also with you
God help me
I don’t see
How I can live this way
Any I don’t know why he’s
Touching me
Won’t you shine in my direction and help me
Won’t you lend me your protection and help me
God help me
Believe me
This wasn’t what I wanted, but no
I can’t leave
He’s got me
Won’t you shine in my direction and help me
Won’t you lend me your protection and help me
Am I guilty or am I just waiting around
For the tide to come in
So the truth can come out
And if I had a dollar for every time
I repented the sin
And commit the same crime
I’d be sitting on top of the world today
I’d be sitting on top of the world today
God help me
And just maybe
I’ll learn to help myself
Speak to me
Don’t leave me
He’s burning me
Won’t you shine in my direction and help me
Won’t you lend me your protection and help me
Places everyone, this is a test
Throw your stones, do your damage
Your worst and your best
All the world is a judge
But that doesn’t compare
To what I do to myself when you’re not there
And if I had a dollar for every time
I repented the sin
And commit the same crime
I’d be sitting on top of the world today
I’d be sitting on top of the world today
Don’t make me choose
I’ve got much to lose
For I am with you
And also with you
For I am with you
And also with you
God help me
Don’t make me chase you
I’ll warn you, I will
Just to embrace you
I’ll get my fill
So be silent, be still
Be hopeful, be brave
I only want you more
When you misbehave
I know I’ve said that before
It’s your touch I crave
So be silent, be still
You, I adore
Must you ignore
It doesn’t matter what you say anymore
This is our night
Why must we fight?
Don’t close the door
Be careful, my dear
If you’re not nice
I’ll give you reason to fear
But I’ll think twice
Don’t pretend you don’t hear
Just be silent, be still
You, I adore
Must you ignore
It doesn’t matter what you say anymore
This is our night
Why must we fight?
Don’t close the door
Now listen to me
I’d rather tie you up
Than let you go free
You must be kind, my dear
I think you’ll agree
These are the words you’ve sung to me
So there’s no hope you see
For still inside I will never be
As being torn to pieces by a loving hand
How do I save you from a voice so soft
As that which acquiesces to your each demand
How do I look upon the eyes I love
And send them down this path, I know it isn’t right
How do I make you realize my love
That there is more to fear than strangers in the night
Chorus:
How do I save you
How do I set you free
Behind the curtain waits a darker world
If I can’t make you leave
How can I save you from me
I think you’ve had enough experience
To differentiate between a heart of gold
And what you cradle in your gentle arms
Can you not recognize a soul already sold
How do I save you from the things I’ve been
I can’t deny the past, it’s written on my face
How do I save you from the mess you’re in
When I can’t make you leave this torturous embrace
Chorus
