If You Had Saved Me

Time is ticking

My heart is beating

Can't you hear it?

The beat is falling behind 

It can't keep up

But instead of stopping

You run

You run faster than you ever have before

To escape time

But now I have excepted the truth 

You can't beat time

So I let it catch me

But I slow for a second to see if you would catch me instead

You look behind you

You paint a smile on my face and continue to run

I didn't want you to run

I wanted you to save me
