Don't Save Me Songtext / Lyric

V1:

Just for a moment we'll play it your way.
Give me the clothes and we'll see how it goes.
But don't forget it's a luxury, this little whim
and if I can't trick 'em they won't let me in. V2:

This corset takes my breath but I'll play along.
Without it are you afraid I'll come undone?
Now you've completed your task with warmest disregard
and you say it's a start. I say Lily Bart. So Chorus:

Don't save me.
Don't save me.
Don't save me.
You've done enough.

V3:

Now that I'm in, I'd rather be out.
But that first step's a bitch; it's a long way down.
And these shoes never fit, there's not even a prize.
But your mood has lifted; you fought the good fight. So

Chorus:

Don't save me.
Don't save me.
Don't save me.
You've done enough.

Bridge:

You could come clean.
This stuff you heaped is rather cruel.
Don't you think?
Your good intent is dispensed with such pretense ...
it's left me bent.
I recognize this exercise as your attempt to canonize and
I don't need more of your kind deeds.

Chorus:

Don't save me.
Don't save me.
Don't save me.
You've done enough.
