The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Maybe not for a lifetime, maybe for a reason
Maybe you came along right now, to keep me believin'
To keep me from killing myself
I'm on the self destructive side, just like you, oh
Maybe not for a lifetime, but maybe for a reason I'll save you
Maybe I'm not goin' nowhere, unless you say we're goin'
Maybe I've just come back again so I can do the showin'
You keep me from killing myself'
Cause dyin' would be nothing new to you, oh,
Maybe not for a lifetime, but maybe for a reason I'll save you
Maybe not for a lifetime, maybe for the moment
We didn't love for shelter but we're safer now and it's cold out there
You keep me from killing myself
Not to say I wouldn't want to be yours
Maybe yours for a lifetime and maybe for a reason you'll save me
You keep me from killing myself
Not to say I wouldn't like to be
Maybe yous for a lifetime and maybe for a reason, you'll save me
You'll save me, you'll save me, you'll save me
(Maybe not for a lifetime, maybe for a reason)
Maybe not for a lifetime, maybe for a reason, you'll save me!
