Well i don't need nobody to rescue me,
                          
Or help me see the way you treat me.
                         
But i do need somebody to help me say
                 
It's time to walk away (alright, okay)

 
Too many times

Too many times

Too many times
                     
You crossed over that line

You changed your mind

You changed your mind

You changed your mind
                      
But i never did change mine

                        
Still i was saved by the fire
                      
Singing its song in my heart
                       
That hypnotized all the demons
              
And tore them apart
                           
But you make them all come back
                  
You make them all return
                  
You're so good at that
                 
And i will never learn
                               
No i never will (i never will, baby)

                           
Well i don't need nobody to heal my pride
                        
Cause i'm playing dead inside
      
But i do need somebody
                  
To come wake me up, shake me up
           
Help me to stand up, stand up


You put me down

You cut me down

You turned me down
                
And i still stick around


You tame my soul

Swallowed me whole

I lost control
                            
And i still couldn't let you go

                      
But i was saved by the fire
                                 
That was burning deep inside of myself
                  
I was a knave to desire
                                 
But i finally got a little bit of help

                  
You ripped out my tongue
                           
You couldn't trust me with that
                   
You hid your trust fund 
                            
I wouldn't a judged you for that
                 
You made me feel dumb
                     
Well i ain't new to that
                     
I must-a treated you wrong
                                       
And now you’re treating me wrong right back

Two many times, three many times, four many times
            
I'm about to crack
      
Eight many times, nine many times
Too many times
      
I lost track

                             
Still yes, i was saved by the fire
                      
Burning deep inside my soul
                       
Yeah i was saved by the fire
                      
Burning deep inside my soul
(yeah, i know, yeah i know)
Yes i was saved by the fire
Burning deep inside my soul…
