Saving grace

I heard you said you're better off on your own, than dating a girl, who didn't correspond to all your needs
And there were her tattooed hands around your neck
You lied to me, said it's not me to blame and now I see it
 
I wish it wasn't midnight time
I stand in the living room, blow my lines
"I wish you'd stay with me"
But you said all I have to do is give you up
 
Somewhere in the middle of the trees I can find your trace
I'll say I miss you
I'll say I wish you were my saving grace
You'd tell me why you had to say goodbye, when I was gripping your hand
I'd say I miss, and I just wish you were my saving grace
 
I know, I'm probably not the best you knew
'cause girls around they're perfect, fully flawless
And it was always cause of me
Every note I wrote you saved to pin, under the bed in apartment, we rent for a while, but not for forever
 
But you get in the car
Oh you're on the way, acting restlessly like you're the one to play, this game, to push my emotions aside
You never been on my side
 
Somewhere in the middle of the street I can see your face
I'd say I miss you and I just wish you were my saving grace
And now I know why you had to say goodbye, exiled yourself from our place
But all this time I hoped you'd be my saving grace
 
If you let me know where they held you down I'd barrel in
I'd let them take all the truth out of me, just to save you for me
I wish you were my saving grace
Like the only thing I hold onto
If you were my saving grace
I'd die for you
