Saved Lyrics
[Intro]
2, 3, 4
[Verse 1]
The hard part always seems to last forever
Sometimes I forget that we aren't together
Deep down in my heart, I hope you're doing alright
But from time to time I often think of why you aren't mine
[Chorus]
But I'll keep your number saved
'Cause I hope one day you'll get the sense to call me
I'm hoping that you'll say
You're missing me the way I'm missing you
So I'll keep your number saved
'Cause I hope one day I'll get the pride to call you
To tell you that no one else
Is gonna hold you down the way that I do
[Verse 2]
Now, I can't say I'll be alright without you
And I can't say that I haven't tried to
But, all your stuff is gone
I erased all the pictures from my phone
Of me and you
Here's what I'll do
[Chorus]
I'll keep your number saved
'Cause I hope one day you'll get the sense to call me
I'm hoping that you'll say
You're missing me the way I'm missing you
So I'll keep your number saved
'Cause I hope one day I'll get the pride to call you
To tell you that no one else
Is gonna hold you down the way that I do
[Bridge]
I hope you think of all the times we shared
I hope you'll finally realize I was the only one who cared
It's crazy how this love thing seems unfair
You won't find a love like mine anywhere
[Chorus]
But I'll keep your number saved
'Cause I hope one day you'll get the sense to call me
I'm hoping that you'll say
You're missing me the way I'm missing you
So I'll keep your number saved
'Cause I hope one day I'll get the pride to call you
To tell you that no one else
Is gonna hold you down the way that I do
But I'll keep your number saved
'Cause I hope one day you'll get the sense to call me
I'm hoping that you'll say
You're missing me the way I'm missing you
So I'll keep your number saved
'Cause I hope one day I'll get the pride to call you
To tell you that I'm finally over you
I'm finally over you

What was the inspiration behind this song?
The moment that “Saved” came to me was after my move from New York to El Paso. I was in a relationship at the time, and everything was super rocky because of the lack of distance. We didn’t see each other face to face anymore. We soon decided, after I moved, that the relationship wasn’t as necessary...
Why did Khalid make this an acoustic ballad?
The acoustic vibe of the song made it very personal. The first time I recorded it, it was with a friend of mine. He had a guitar, he was playing behind me, and I sung one take over the whole song. To me, that felt like my own voice memo. So every time I would listen to the song, I would try to list...
Why does Khalid sing so much about our connection to our phones?
The correlation between the cell phone usage in “Location” and “Saved"—it’s just the fact that everyone, including myself, we’re so wrapped up in this digital era. Our phone is kind of our safety net. When your phone dies, you’re kind of fucked. You don’t know what to do for 10 to 20 minutes until t...
