Save Me From You


I never made it easy

And you 

You could've had me

Forever

I would've let you in

And you will never know

How badly 

I wanted you to stay

And now

All I have 

Is these memories

Softly killing me

And as I wait it out

I know

I'll never get over you

Not looking back

As you let me go

 

Nothing helps

Nothing makes it go away

I thought by now

Your memory

Wouldn't hurt me so bad

But I can't escape you

What you should've been

What we were meant to be

And now

All I have

Is your photo

Right by my bed

And every night

With you in my head

I wonder

How long it'll take

Before I make it out of this alive

 

I'd give anything 

Everything I have

For you back

Even though I know

We are better off

I still want you

More then anything

I tell myself 

I talk myself down

Off this broken ledge

But I've come to learn

Through the chill

And then the burn

That nothing in this world

Is strong enough

To save me

From you
