Saved - Devendra Banhart

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.
