Sad Salvation

Sometimes love is a sad salvation
 You can't stay warm in it's feeble glow
 Sometimes love is a sad salvation
 But it's the only love she knows
 She smiles at the children selling candy on the street
 Remembers the good old days, a life so bittersweet
 Listens to the schoolgirls sing their songs a little louder
 And with the weight of the world she walks a little prouder
 He's waiting upstairs, hasn't been out for a while
 She cries as she feeds him, she lives for his smile
 Speaks with his eyes, goodbye, they're saying
 They tremble inside, they can hear eachother's heart breaking
 With tired eyes and a weary soul
 She stares at the past frozen on her wall
 Seems like a million years, feels like only yesterday
 That he lived in those eyes - now so far away
 She lays down beside him like she's done for years and years
 Kisses his face, so wet from her tears
 Will she wake up alone - she don't wanna go to sleep
 She curses life for giving her - what it just can't let her keep
 Her hands start to tremble as she packs up his clothes
 Everything's got a story - now only she knows
 She sighs then she smiles, surprising herself
 Even through the hard times she could never love anybody else
