Save For You

I was counting time, Marking days on the wall. I was sleeping late, when I woke up at dawn. Before I met you, I was clinging to the ground. I would sing my songs, just to see if I still made sound.

Save for you, I'm lost, and lonely.
Save for you, I'm a crumbling shack.
Save for you, I'm empty, and phony.
Save for you, I'm flat on my back, I'm a living artifact.

Guess I could get up, brush my teeth, comb my hair.
Call upon old friends, see a movie, get some air.
What could anyone say, that would matter anyhow?
I recall before you, that's where I am heading now.

Save for you, I'm lost, and lonely.
Save for you, I'm a crumbling shack.
Save for you, I'm empty, and phony.
Save for you, I'm flat on my back, I'm a living artifact.

I say you look pretty, you say I am man enough to carry the load,
isn't itty-bitty.
We drove home, when a drunk was on the road.

You were in my dream, though I never saw your face.
You're a reason to know, cause you still had the same grace.
It didn't need to be said, I knew just what I should do.
Next morning I started living, living big enough for two.

Save for you, I'm lost, and lonely.
Save for you, I'm a crumbling shack.
Save for you, I'm empty, and phony.
Save for you, I'm flat on my back, I'm under attack, I'm a living artifact.
