[Verse 1] You came with your pockets full of little disasters Wanted clean hands without cleaning the plaster Dropped all your weight at the foot of my bed Then called me cold when I gave it back instead You want a lighthouse I’m barely a spark You want directions I still get lost in the dark Don’t paint me holy just because I stayed I never promised I could save what you break [Pre-Chorus] Don’t kneel Don’t pray Don’t put that shit on me You built the pedestal I never asked to be seen [Chorus] I’M NOBODY’S SAVIOUR DON’T HANG YOUR HEAVEN ON ME I’M NOBODY’S SAVIOUR I CAN’T BE WHAT YOU NEED I can stand beside you I can bleed there too But I won’t disappear trying to carry you I’M NOBODY’S SAVIOUR SAVE YOURSELF FROM ME [Verse 2] Everybody loves you when you’re useful enough Keep taking the punches keep calling it love Keep fixing the cracks while your own house sinks Keep pouring the cup till there’s nothing to drink Then one little “no” and suddenly you’ve changed Funny how boundaries make devotion look strange You didn’t need me You needed a place To dump every problem you refused to face [Pre-Chorus] Don’t kneel Don’t pray Don’t make me your excuse I’m done being punished for what you refuse to lose [Chorus] I’M NOBODY’S SAVIOUR DON’T HANG YOUR HEAVEN ON ME I’M NOBODY’S SAVIOUR I CAN’T BE WHAT YOU NEED I can stand beside you I can bleed there too But I won’t disappear trying to carry you I’M NOBODY’S SAVIOUR SAVE YOURSELF FROM ME [Bridge] I am not the answer I am not the cure I’m not your clean ending wrapped up nice and pure I’ve got my own damage my own little war So stop showing up with your hands at my door [Breakdown] NO MORE CARRYING YOU NO MORE BLEEDING FOR TWO You want redemption? Go look in the mirror I’m done making your life my reason for being here NO GOD NO GUIDE NO FUCKING FAVOUR I— AM— NOBODY’S— SAVIOUR [Final Chorus] I’M NOBODY’S SAVIOUR DON’T HANG YOUR HEAVEN ON ME I’M NOBODY’S SAVIOUR I CAN’T BE WHAT YOU NEED I can stand beside you but I won’t become you I won’t drown myself just to keep you afloat too I’M NOBODY’S SAVIOUR AND THAT’S FINE WITH ME [Outro] You wanted someone to save you. I wanted you to learn how to swim.
