Save Myself

I've always been your best-kept secret
You've always been my worst nightmare
Vivid stares from empty eyes
I gave, but you took back
I was never enough when I was trying to help
So you left me in the cold to fend for myself

All our days were destined for destruction
For you my touch meant nothing
You still let me in your bed
Time again, I'd place my faith in you
Compassion turned out cruel
Some things I won't accept
All I could try to do was save you from the dead
Now I know, I've gotta save myself instead

You're always good at escaping blame
Playing people like they're games
Amazing how you didn't care
I gave you everything I had
No one even knew that I was there even when I held you
Just left me in the dark to try to find the truth

All our days were destined for destruction
For you my touch meant nothing
You still let me in your bed
Time again, I'd place my faith in you
Compassion turned out cruel
But I won't be your wreck
All I could try to do was save you from the dead
Now I know, I've gotta save myself instead

I look back and wonder how be both survived
In tryin' to save you, a part of me died

All our days were destined for destruction
For you my touch meant nothing
You still let me in your bed
Time again, I'd place my faith in you
Compassion turned out cruel
Some things are meant to end
All I could try to do was save you from the dead
Now I know, I've gotta save myself instead
