The Thing That Would Save You

I remember thinking how

This medicine would be the thing that would save you

And now I'm finding out

It's never bringing back the person I once knew

So will you look inside

And see the life they've buried deep in your conscience

And learn they couldn't hide

The will to be the everything for yourself that you've been to me

You won't cut

Deep enough to scar the person you are

And who you are

Is more than voices in your head are drowning out

And here you are again

The same existence flawed by what you could not be

And I have never been

So terrified of losing someone I love to their own disease

But I can't be the one who can save you

I can't be the one who can save you from yourself

Don't you break your heart

I don't want to see you grind your pulse to a halt

You can't come this far

Just to never know if this was ever your fault

Because it never was

You won't cut

Deep enough to scar the person you are

And who you are

Is more than voices in your head are drowning out

But I can't be the one who can save you now

I can't be the one who can save you from yourself
