[Verse 1]
You have your visions and I have mine
And they may be different but who's to say who's right?
I'll give you space and I'll take mine
But I'd rather find a way to coincide
Oh, you think I'm living wrong?
I should live in fear, I should play along?
"Where will you get if you're only singing songs"
I guess I'll know when I blow out both my lungs!

[Chorus]
You keep trying to save me
Trying to save me
But you couldn't save yourself
You couldn't save yourself
You keep trying to save me
Trying to save me
But it wasn't any help
You only know what you've been told!
But you put it on yourself to buy the lies they sold!
You put it on yourself to buy the lies they sold!

[Verse 2]
I watched the leaves turn, I watched them rot away
I saw the snowfall and turn back into the rain
Years are flying by you're living in a cage
I think it's time you step outside
And feel the sunlight glisten off your skin
[Chorus]
(You keep trying to save me!)
Trying to save me
But you couldn't save yourself
You couldn't save yourself
You keep trying to save me
Trying to save me
But it wasn't any help
It wasn't any help!

[Verse 3]
The fear of failure
It has us play the cards we're dealt
The fear of suffering is worse, than suffering itself!
It's funny how it all worked out!

[Chorus]
You keep trying to save me
Trying to save me
But you couldn't save yourself
You couldn't save yourself
You keep trying to save me
Trying to save me
But it wasn't any help
You only know what you've been told
And if you don't know, well now you know!
[Outro]
You keep trying to save me!...
You keep trying to save
To save! To save! To save! Me...
