Save me from my own desire

I want you.

Wanting you is like a river that I drown in,

Fighting harder, growing tired until I can’t swim,

Overwhelmed by need, I sink into the mire.

Oh won’t you save me?

Save me from my own desire!

Please won’t you save me?

Save me from my own desire.

I can’t have you, you can’t have me,

because we’re not free.

But I can feel you, I can sense your need

the same as mine, it will not tire.

So won’t you save me?

Save me from my own desire!

Why won’t you save me?

Save me from my own desire.

I must have you.

If I cannot slake this thirst, then I will perish,

and you will follow, and together we will vanish,

lost in lust’s black night of wanting, we’ll expire.

So you must save me!

Save me from my own desire!

Now you must save me.

Save me from my own desire!
