Salvation Music and Lyrics by Jem Warren A day spent by myself has shed some new light That I should be lonely for the rest of my life No one to act as if they own my soul Nobody there with whom I can grow old You’ve been more kind than I thought could be true I wish I could say I’d do the same thing for you But I can’t relinquish my security With someone who’s lowly enough to love me (Chorus) And maybe I was once in love with you But I can’t seem to lose the wounds From the hell you used to put me through And baby I refuse to show you any gratitude Salvation attained without you Love works for those who don’t live with regret From heartbreak they haven’t experienced yet Love works for children my mom always said It worked for my father like a hole in his head Now I was misguided when I was a child Promised compassion and took for a ride From which I can say I’ve never truly returned Love left me broken and love left me burned (Chorus)
