Summary
A haunting elegy for love’s limitations, this song unravels the myth that love alone can heal someone who is unwilling to change. It’s a final confession of tenderness given freely—even when it was never enough.
Listen
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I found you broken, so I stayed
I wrapped my words in silk and grace
But silence isn’t healing
And kindness isn’t fate
You can’t fix a soul
That wants to break
[Verse 2]
You saw in me a place to fall
But never thought to build a wall
You gave your ghosts a bedroom
And prayed that they’d behave
But love is not a fire escape
[Chorus]
Love doesn’t save anyone
It isn’t a cure, it’s a song unsung
A soft refrain for hearts that run
But it can’t hold back the flood
Love doesn’t save anyone
No, not even us
[Verse 3]
You said I lit the only light
But even stars can’t halt the night
I watched you drift with open eyes
And still, I let you go
Because love can’t fight
What you won’t show
[Chorus]
Love doesn’t save anyone
It isn’t a shield, it’s a loaded gun
A whisper in the dark that stuns
But it can’t rewrite the past
Love doesn’t save anyone
Not when the cracks come fast
[Bridge]
You wanted rescue
I gave my hand
But broken hearts don’t understand
That love’s not chains
It’s not demand
It’s just a touch
You have to stand
[Final Chorus]
Love doesn’t save anyone
It’s not a war that can be won
We pass through flames
We come undone
But still, I loved you hard
Even when I knew
It wouldn’t be enough
[Outro]
So don’t say I didn’t try
But love was never meant
To save a life
