Story Behind The Song
It's a melange of many relationships - friendship, love - even family. It's generally about really wanting to believe that someone will be in your life even though you really know that they are only there for a short time.
Song Description
You can't change who someone is, as much as you might want to. This is about someone who moves from town to town, leaving hearts broken wherever she goes. But those she leaves behind hang on to the hope that she'll be back. And maybe she will come back, but it's always temporary.

Lyrics
She kicked the dust off of her boots
And made her way downstairs
She left the light on at the door
So you'd think she was still there
If she tells you that she loves you
She don't mean to lead you on
Just when you think that she is stayin'
She's already gone
So save your love, save your love
She left a note for you to find
It said "We both played our parts,
But no matter how we try,
We can't change who we are".
If you tell her that you love her
She might stay another day
But turn around for just a moment
And she'll be on her way
So save your love, save your love
Just save your love, save your love
Just when you're wrapped up in your sorrow
She might call you up again
And in any given moment
Will you give in?
Will you give in?
Save your love, save your love, save your love
Save your love, save your love, save your love
