The Avett Brothers - Salvation Song lyrics

If you take my heart Don't leave the smallest part I've no need to live if you're to come up gone An as my life turns to a song And if and when I treat you wrong No I never want to hurt our family And I would give up everything No this is not just about me And I don't know a plainer way to say it Babe And they may pay us off in fame Though that is not why we came And I know well and good that won't heal our hearts We came for salvation We came for family We came for all that's good that's how we'll walk away We came to break the bad We came to cheer the sad We came to leave behind the world a better way Now if I'm walkin' through the rain And I hear you call my name I will break into a run without a pause And if your love laughs at your dreams Well it's not as bad as it seems Either way one of them has got to go And if you take of my soul You can still leave it whole With the pieces of you own you leave behind We came for salvation We came for family We came for all that's good that's how we'll walk away We came to break the bad We came to cheer the sad We came to leave behind the world a better way And I would give up everything And if you were to come up clean And see you shine so bright in a world of woe And they may pay us off in fame But that is not why we came And if it compromises truth then we will go We came for salvation We came for family We came for all that's good that's how we'll walk away We came to break the bad We came to cheer the sad We came to leave behind the world a better way
