It started off so well
They said we made a perfect pair
I clothed myself in your glory and your love
How I loved you
It was just a rainy day in London. Another normal day, I was still visible then. But that rainy day would be engraved in my thievin' 'eart forever. I saw 'er standin' on the street corner tryin' 'er best to 'ale a 'andsom. She was drenched to the bone but she was still radiant. 'Er father 'ated me, mother said it was god's work that were we together. Then it took a wrong turn...
How I cried
All the years of care and Loyalty
Were nothing but a sham it seems
The years belie we lived the lies
"I will love you till I die"
Life was like a fantasy then. She moved inta my one person flat, piece of crap that thing was but she didn't mind. She didn't mind what I did for a livein' she found it more excitin' then I did. Though, she did worry, showed 'ow much she cared. But some 'ow along da line I started enjoy mah work too much, the thrills. And I began to search of a bettah thrill. And in my search I pushed 'er farther and farther away. I lost my angel with only a note as good-bye...
Save me, save me, save me
I can't face this life alone
Save me, save me, save me
I'm naked and I'm far from home
The note wasn't 'arsh if that's whatcha thinkin'. It was short, very short. All it said was good-bye. I think that's what really bothers me. Is that I don't know why she left. After she left I preoccupied myself with my fun even more. I found Griffin and 'is formula. It was perfect, just what I 'ad been lookin' for. The process was extremely painful and long. The night I came 'ome from my 1st big night I didn't feel the 'appiness I though I would feel. And I realized that I 'ad done it all for 'er, to see 'er smile, and now she's gone...
The slate will soon be clean
I'll erase the memories to start again with someone new
Was it wasted?
All that love?
I tired to move on, to replace 'er. But it just wouldn't work. I'd wake up next to someone else and all I could think of was 'er and what she would think if she saw me now. It was 'ard bein' alone and literally invisible. I looked for 'er everywhere I went. I was still always alone. I buried myself deepah into my thrills, the pure exhilaration, and tried to forget my pain.
I hang my head and I advertise
A soul for sale or rent
I have to heart, I'm cold inside
I have no real intent
I wanted to die, but I worked myself 'arder. I blamed 'er for my pain. I blamed 'er for a bad night for the rain for the snow for everything wrong. Then I got sick. Deathly ill, from all the running around the dirty streets nude and in the rain. It finally got me…my stupidity got me.
Save me, save me, save me
I can't face my life alone
Save me, save me
Oh I'm naked and I'm far from home
I 'ad a lot of time to think about 'er now. And I just wanted 'er there to do what I always 'ated 'er for doin'. To hold me close and treat me like a child. I wanted to see 'er laugh and see 'er smile. I was in rage with myself for pushin' 'er away. Then "M" tracked me down. I was sick, and I was going to jail.
Each night I cry and I still believe the lie
I love you till I die
I was dead on the inside now better but stuck in a prison cell. But then the League of Extraordinary Gentleman came along and "M" threw me into the mix. Promisin' me freedom and a cure for my invisibility. But even then I was only 'alf alive. She still 'eld 'alf of me, and 'er memory wouldn't let me go. Nor did I really want it to. Because to do that, that would mean to forget 'er.
(Save me, save me, save me)
Yea, Yeah
Save me, yeah save me oh save me
Don't let me face this life alone
Save me, save me
Oh I'm naked and I'm far from home
And I don't want to forget. Because I will find 'er again. In my crooked 'eart I know I will. I'll do it right my next chance. I wont let 'er go again, I can't afford to. I need 'er.
I need 'er to save me…
