Let Me Save You (Part 2) [What I meant to say...]

When I left you that night

I felt like we lost all our plans

The sun was sinking down

We, no longer holding hands

You had your own life

I know that I have mine

But I want you to know

Since the day you said "No"

I believed I was the right man



It's not that I hate him

Nor that you made a mistake

I know I treated you poorly

And I know you give what you take

he just didn't seem much your type

Or someone for you to hold

More of a friend in your life

Not a man with a ring made of gold



I'm not usually an outgoing soul

I try to hold it all in

But when you are fighting at night

I've got to give you a call

Put it all out in front

Where we can see it all close

That this isn't what you needed, not now

It's not what you needed at all



Rachael, I feel I hardly know

Much of anything now

But by talking when we have time

I hope to know you somehow

Then I plan to make an escape

Just to get out of this place

I want to show up at your door

Just like I did the time before



Part 2 is not about

Trying to put your decisions down

No, it's simply about

How much I want you to know

It's been 2 or more years

Since you last kissed me on the mouth

And all I want to know, is if

It'll still feel the same way now....



"I love you more than the day before you let us go. I want you to know that I never wanted to let you go.  There you go... all alone..."

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Let Me Save You (Part 2) goes so much deeper than just a simple song...it's a lifelong feeling...a need...a statement from the heart.  Rachael, don't take it as another one of my songs...take it as if I'm right there singing it to you.
