Save Us

I'd like

To make this easy

On you and me

And if I knew how

Then I would save us both

From the mess

I'm making

All those words

I never said

That I keep stored

In my head

And all these growing pains

They get harder

Every day

If I knew how

I would save us

 

But the truth is

I don't know

As much

As I think I should 

And I know for a fact

We should know each other

Better by now

And I don't know how

We got this far

Without falling apart sooner

How did you find me

Way down here

And how did I come to love

Someone so sweet

Someone so much better off

Without me

We both know

That I don't know how

To save us

 

So take these thoughts

Take these memories

I love you

My sweet

But your love is killing me

In the best way possible

And I don't deserve

What you think I do

And if I had my way

I'd love you

Until I couldn't love anymore

But I don't understand

I don't know where to go from here

I'm not getting better

And we both know

That I don't know how

To save us
