[Intro: Niall, Louis and Zayn]
I, I want to save you, want to save your heart tonight
He'll only break you, leave you torn apart, oh

[Verse 1: Liam]
It's a quarter to three, can't sleep at all
He's so overrated
If you told me to jump, I'd take the fall
And he wouldn't take it

[Pre-Chorus: Harry]
All that you want's under your nose, yeah
You should open your eyes but they stay closed, closed

[Chorus: Niall, Louis and Zayn & All]
I, I want to save you, want to save your heart tonight
He'll only break you, leave you torn apart, oh
I can't be no superman, but for you I'll be super human
I, I want to save you, save you, save you tonight

[Verse 2: Zayn]
Oh, now you're at home and he don't call
'Cause he don't adore you
To him you are just another doll
And I tried to warn you

[Pre-Chorus: Harry]
What you want, what you need has been right here, yeah
I can see that you're holding back those tears, tears

[Chorus: Niall, Louis and Zayn & All]
I, I want to save you, want to save your heart tonight
He'll only break you, leave you torn apart, oh
I can't be no superman, but for you I'll be super human
I, I want to save you, save you, save you tonight

[Bridge: Louis]
Up, up and away, I'll take you with me
Up, up and away, I'll take you with me

[Chorus: Niall, Louis and Zayn & All]
I, I want to save you, want to save your heart tonight
He'll only break you, leave you torn apart, oh
I can't be no superman, but for you I'll be super human
I, I want to save you, save you, save you tonight
I want to save you, save you, save you tonight
I want to save you, save you, save you tonight

One Direction was an English-Irish pop band based in London, consisting of Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and previously Zayn Malik. They signed with Simon Cowell’s record label Syco Records after being formed and finishing third in the seventh series of the British televised singing competition The X Factor in 2010. Check out their journey on the competition here.

Propelled to international success by the power of social media, their two albums Up All Night and Take Me Home, released in 2011 and 2012 respectively, broke several records, topped the charts of most major markets, and generated hit singles, including “What Makes You Beautiful” and “Live While We’re Young.”

Their third album, Midnight Memories, introduced a maturing sound. Singles including “Best Song Ever” and “Story of My Life” became smash hits. The music video for “Best Song Ever” even broke the one-day Vevo record, racking up 10.9 million views in 24 hours.
