Even if you loved me it was hard for me to see
And even if I trusted you can't say that I believed
And even though you're everything my heart was searching for
With every day beside you it kept hurting even more
I couldn't really tell you 'cause how could I explain
That even when I held you close I was holding in the pain
And even if I knew the love we had was really true
It didn't matter if you loved me, someday I'd still be leavin' you
And I know it's in the past
And I know that I can't change it
But there's something I've been meaning to say
I wanted to save us
I wanted to try even if it was too late
Even after all these years I hate hearing your name
'Cause I've forgotten most of us but I just can't forget your face
And even though I've tried my best to move on with my life
I still see you in my dreams almost every other night
And I've tried forgetting everything took your number off my phone
But even so my head still knows the numbers on its own
And even if I say I'm never seeing you again
In my heart I'm praying someday maybe we'll be friends
And I know I had my chance
And I know I didn't take it
But can you give me one more minute to say
I wanted to save us
I wanted to try even if we couldn't be saved
I wanted to save us
I wanted to try
Tried to be the guy you always wanted me to be
But tryin' didn't change that it was hard for you to be with me
I wanted to save us
From saying goodbye
I was holding on when I could never be enough
The more I held you close the more that I was breaking us
I wanted to save
Can't save us, can't save me
Can't save the love you gave me
We weren't meant to be saved
I wanted to save us
I wanted to try even if I'm three years too late
I wanted to save us
I wanted to try even if I'll never be saved
