you loved her first and that's not fair
'i love you baby' but she's never there
you get so distant whenever she's near
sometimes you forget that i'm still here

i walk behind you and don't make a sound
silently crying but you don't turn around
it's like a nightmare as i lay screaming
but it's too real for me to be dreaming

i want to save you and break her spell
i don't want to see your soul in hell
can't you see that she's not real
she's beyond dead, she can't feel

i don't want to be her replacement
but i'm suffering from displacement
and i feel like i've got no identity
as you speak my name like an obscenity

and i know i don't belong
but when it feels so good
how can it be wrong?

i want to save you and break her spell
i don't want to see your soul in hell
can't you see that she's not real
she's beyond dead, she can't feel

i'll be more than she ever could
i'll do more than she ever would
i know i care more than i should
but i could be just as good

but you're trying to save what never was
and it doesn't matter what she does
how can i compete when she has no flaws
you'll justify her 'just because'

and i want to save you
i want to love you
i want to
i want to
I WANT TO . . .

i'll be more than she ever could
i'll do more than she ever would
i know i care more than i should
but i know i'm just as good

i want to save you and break her spell
i don't want to see your soul in hell
can't you see that she's not real
she's beyond dead, she can't feel

i want to save you
