[Verse 1]
I saw a savior, a savior come my way
I thought I'd see it at the cold light of day
But now I realize that I'm only for me
[Chorus]
If only I could see you turn myself to me

For I am guilty for the voice that I obey

[Chorus]
If only I could see you turn myself to me
And recognize the poison in my heart
There is no other place, no one else I face
No remedy to agree with how I feel
