Save Yourself


My mind is drawing constant blanks
I'm blacking out in my moment of grace
It's harder now than it was before
My crafted words have been defaced
I'm writing lines that make no sense
I'm letting go of all I knew
No retreat, no innocence
Everything's been misconstrued

If you come here, I won't be waiting
For a tragic doll who just needs saving
Save yourself and leave me out of this one

If you came back, I wouldn't take you
Despite the fact I'd never break you
Save yourself, the time has come to run

My heart is full of new false starts
I'm running out in my moment of chance
It's stranger now than it was before
My silenced words have been enhanced
I'm thinking things I'd say out loud
While holding feelings tightly kept
To pace the floors in noisy crowds
I'm not that sure I've lost it yet

If you come here, I won't be waiting
For a tragic doll who just needs saving
Save yourself and leave me out of this one

If you came back, I wouldn't take you
Despite the fact I'd never break you
Save yourself, the time has come to run

All my thoughts will grow to fester
They're waiting now to be sequestered
All the time they've been ignored
Never once to be implored

I'm sure you'll find it very tragic
But I won't play the victim's addict
Tortured lies to meet your mind
The past was never that unkind

If you come here, I won't be waiting
For a tragic doll who just needs saving
Save yourself and leave me out of this one

If you came back, I wouldn't take you
Despite the fact I'd never break you
Save yourself, the time has come to run
Save yourself, the time has come to run
