Love If love could save you you’d be here with me smiling and laughing and playing your guitar not sitting alone in a filthy hovel licking your broken teeth covered in your own shit and piss drinking 99-cent store wine just to stop the convulsions but love can’t save you love can’t save everyone Love If love could save you you’d be charming and witty with girls all around you and friends eagerly waiting on each precious word to fall from your beautiful mouth not this desiccated wretch bitterly spitting out bile drooling his life away from a wrinkled, swollen face and a skeletal body just barely holding onto life but love can’t save you love can’t save everyone Love If love could save you then you’d reach out and take the fucking hand I offer let me nurse you back to health and give you all the love you’ve always wanted, always needed but could never produce for yourself instead of slamming the door in the faces of everyone who ever tried to help you but love can’t save you love can’t save everyone Love If love could save you then you’d get off your ass, motherfucker and make the decision to live but you’re going to die alone and forgotten with no one left who gives a damn because love cannot save you love can’t save everyone
