Your Love Won't Save Me

by Thom Dunn

/

about

In honor of BUFFY's 20th anniversary, here's a tune I wrote that's kinda from the POV of Angel in Seasons 2 and 3.

lyrics

Is that all you want from me:
a lonely lover’s only reason to bleed
in late night bites that try
to bring me to my knees

If you'd slay away the cravings of this dream
I'll find a grave and sleep the lifetime in-between

CHORUS
Why would you think that your love could save me
when you know that if it did I would die?
But every time I come back to life I see that look in your eye
and I fight

I cant turn and walk away
from all the trials, tribulations, and pain
that I’ve reaped for centuries
left in your wake

You can feed the beast, but it won’t be your prey
or a stake you claim until your dying day.

CHORUS

I won't wake up one day like an angel —
free of all that I've done and seen


Because our passion is just the fashion of your woe
And this heart will never beat before it goes
(But I'll still haunt your home)

CHORUS
Why would you think that your love could save me
when you know that if it did I would die?
But every time I come back to life I see that glint in your eye
And I smile

So why do we lie when our love still runs a-
round the shadow town of a soul
and happiness is only a hole at the end of it all?
