Saving Abel – Sailed Away Lyrics 15 years ago
Does it hurt to hear me say
That I never really meant to stay
I left you right where I want you
Now there's nothin' left
And not a reason
There's nothin' left to believe in
When just one remains
I've sailed away

I think he is saying that he never wanted to be in the relationship as much as she wanted him to. So because of that, he wants out of the situation.

Such a foolish game
That we have been playin'
Now you got me right where you want me
I left you in the right
But you wouldn't let me take the fall
Now you've got me right where you want me

I think he is saying that she has him caught up. Most likely in a trap, i am thinking she is saying she is pregnant. that is why he says "you got me right where you want me".

Now there's nothin' left
And that's the reason
There's not much left to believe in
If it's all just the same
I'll sail away
You pushed so hard
You have to know that
You might just get what you wanted
And when just one remains
I've sailed away

The chorus is saying that even with all she tried he is still leaving. she pushed too hard, and that just made him want to leave more.

I found out on my own
Everything that I've been missin'
Now I've got you right where I want you
Now that we're apart
I see just who you are
You're always gonna be
The one to keep hatin'
Now I've got you right where I want you

After having sometime alone he met someone else and found out what he has been missing. so now he feels in control of the relationship. instead of missing her is is hating her.


I'm not one to hide my face behind the pain
It's not like me to beg you to stay
I'll just sail away

so he has given up on the situation and he isnt hiding behind the pain. This is what i think this song is about. Let me know if you have a better idea. Thanks
