Savior Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't feel like I'm myself today
Something in me just let go
Took some medicine to numb the pain
Went so dark, you'd never know

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm being honest with you now
Hangin' by a thread, am I?
Don't excuse this bad behavior

[Chorus]
But tonight, I need a savior (Oh-oh)
And you're looking like a savior (Ooh-ooh, ooh)
Sometimes you need someone to save ya (Oh-oh)
Hoping you could be my savior (Savior)

[Verse 2]
I don't feel like I belong today
Something in me just walked out (Yeah)
So many things that people never say
Like how I just need you right now (Mmm)

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm being honest, don't know why
Hangin' by a thread, I am
If you leave, I wouldn't blame ya
[Chorus]
But right now, I need a savior (Oh-oh)
And you're looking like a savior (Ooh, ooh-ooh)
Sometimes you need someone to save ya (Oh-oh)
Hoping you could be my savior (Savior)

[Bridge]
Yes, I have cried, mmm
It's not so easy to show this side
I jumped in this water
Ooh, yeah, but you look like a bridge tonight

[Chorus]
Almost like a savior (Oh-oh, woo!)
That name you're callin' when there's danger (Ooh)
Sometimes you need someone to save ya (Ooh-ooh)
Hoping you could be my savior (Oh, ooh-ooh, savior)


[Post-Chorus]
Savior (Woo, oh-oh)
Savior (Savior, oh-oh)
Savior (Savior, oh-oh, yeah)
Savior (Savior, oh-oh, savior)

[Outro]
I don't feel like I'm myself today
Something in me just let go
