the light was red but he didn't stop
it hit me by surprise
I was shattered glass, all busted up
I never saw it coming
I thought he was one of the good guys

it's hard to breathe with a broken heart
or a dagger in your back
it's tough enough to trust someone
when love has left me bleeding
from the fatal wounds of a sneak attack

I'm in need of a rescue
in need of a rescue now
does anybody hear me'
I'm in need of a rescue
in need of a rescue now
save me, somebody, save me

I can't take the heat in my own house
the doorknob's glowing red
there's a fire downstairs I can't put out
a marriage turns to ashes
with the he said and the she said

I'm in need of a rescue
in need of a rescue now
does anybody hear me'
I'm in need of a rescue
in need of a rescue now
save me, somebody, save me

but my jagged journey's brought me here
where I can start to see this clearly
what I need is someone near me
who loves me
truly loves me
who will break into this darkness
and carry me to light

I'm in need of a rescue
in need of a rescue now
I know you hear me
I'm in need of a rescue
in need of a rescue now
save me, save me
