[Verse 1] They saw the smoke But not the fire They saw my hands But not the wire I took the blame I took the stone While they were safe I stood alone [Pre-Chorus] They call it wrong They call it cruel They read the end Before the clue But I was there When nights got cold I held the line I held them close [Chorus] I was saving you Saving you Not breaking you Not breaking you They see my hands And call it sin But I was pulling you back in I was saving you Saving you Not hurting you Not hurting you They see the storm They miss the shield I took the hit so you could heal [Verse 2] They heard the shout They missed the fear They heard my name And stopped at “here” I shut the door To keep you here I cut the rope To cut the fear [Pre-Chorus] It looked like pain It looked like loss But every step Was carrying us If I looked hard If I looked mean It was just love Under the seam [Chorus] I was saving you Saving you Not breaking you Not breaking you They see my hands And call it sin But I was pulling you back in I was saving you Saving you Not hurting you Not hurting you They see the storm They miss the shield I took the hit so you could heal [Bridge] Let them talk Let them stare They never stood Right in that flare If I went down I went down first To keep your name From tasting hurt [Final Chorus] I was saving you Saving you Not breaking you Not breaking you They see my hands And call it sin But I was pulling you back in I was saving you Saving you Not hurting you Not hurting you When they ask why Tell them this: I took the dark So you could live
