Salvation Songtext
von Richter

I could have sworn you′d never leave me
I could have been your one and only
I could have sworn you'd never walk out on me
What do you want me to be?

I could have sworn you′d always need me
I could have sworn you'd never let me go
And all the things you never told me
And all the times I let you scold me
I was sworn in high and mighty ways

Patience made me whole but I don't understand today
How I′m a victim to the mantle of my quiet gentle way
I could offer you salvation but you′d fritter it away
And I'm tired of false emotion from my lying former friend


I could have sworn I made you happy
I could have been your true love always
I could have sworn you′d never want me to leave
What you'd have me believe

I could have sworn you′d always hold me
I could have sworn you'd always be with me
And all the lies you knew you sold me
And all the ways I let you mold me
I was sworn until my dying days
Patience made me whole but I don′t understand today
How I'm a victim to the mantle of my quiet gentle way

I could offer you forgiveness but you'd throw it all away
And I′m tired of false emotion from my lying former friend


Patience made me whole but I don′t understand today
How I'm a victim to the mantle of my quiet gentle way
I could offer you forgiveness but you′d throw it all away
And I'm tired of false emotion from my lying former friend
Patience made me whole but I don′t understand today
How I'm a victim to the mantle of my quiet gentle way
I could offer you salvation but you′d fritter it away
And I'm tired of false emotion from my lying former friend
