Don’t Save Me

[INTRO] You saved me I couldn’t save you Maybe that’s the truth of it Maybe there was never a way I could reach you No matter how hard I tried to break through You saved me I couldn’t save you This is probably true Not as much as I’d like to [VERSE 1] Or maybe it was me Maybe I was already too far gone Too worn down Too emptied out Hoping with nothing really left inside me You sound optimistic And I don’t understand how How somebody who’s seen what you’ve seen Could still believe there’s light at the end of anything Because every time people talk about a tunnel All I see is the train Coming straight for me again Ready to drag me back Back Back down that track [PRE-CHORUS] What’s the point of this life If I can’t steer straight If every time I gain traction Something throws me right back where I started There’s only so much a person can take [CHORUS / HOOK] But now then if I go down I wana Drown So save yourself And no one else Don’t save me Nah not me Cos if I’m going down Then let me drown [VERSE 2] And if you were beside me Then maybe I’d finally understand What you meant when you said You don’t go where people push you Only where you choose to go That kind of will That refusal to bend I only ever saw that in my mother Except she was cruel with it Cold with it She never carried anyone but herself She was never really a mother to this girl Not once Not through any part of her life [BUILD] So when I wanted to burn everything down When I wanted to set the whole fucking stage on fire I thought you’d be the one standing beside me Because you knew I know you knew And you knew that I knew it too But you wouldn’t do it with me [BREAKDOWN] You won’t let us go down? I thought you was down with me That’s right I remember You wouldn’t burn down that stage with me When I wanted to set it ablaze But you told me You don’t do things what others want you to Ok I respect that [FINAL CHORUS] But now then if I go down I wana Drown So save yourself And no one else Don’t save me Nah not me Cos if I’m going down Then let me drown Let me drown I’ve sunk too far now It feels too late now Save yourself instead Because I’m going down [OUTRO] Suicide or homicide Scared of my tired eyes Well I don’t wana blink Cos wen they shut It’ll be the day u die I know it ain’t that far away That day
