Save Your Life

VERSE 1
You’re laying on my sofa getting high on my medicine
I couldn’t call the police without a shred of evidence
That you stole everything from me and my family
Left us broke and broken, on the edge of tragedy
So even if you’re drowning in the ghost river
I won’t swim after you, I’ll just let you shiver
You better grow gills and a fish tail over your legs
If you make it to the surface, grab your tin cup and beg

CHORUS
I’m never going to save your life
So get ready for the afterlife
You’d never do the same
For me on any day
Now it’s time to say
Now it’s time to say goodbye

VERSE 2
You got inside my head and you’re not getting out
Can I get on with my life? The answer is in doubt
My favorite music is all but dead to me
I got all this passion, but not enough energy
So even if you’re dangling over jagged rocks below
I’d turn and walk away, this is your own death row
You’d better grow wings and a halo over your head
If you fly to the top, it’s because you’re already dead

CHORUS
I’m never going to save your life
So get ready for the afterlife
You’d never do the same
For me on any day
Now it’s time to say
Now it’s time to say goodbye

BRIDGE
Forgiveness is a violation of my boundaries
It’s hard to let it go when my brain takes a pounding
I’m stuck in second place, but I’ll keep dipping lower
That’s called mental torture, it keeps getting slower
I can’t hold a job, I can’t live my life
I can’t drive a car, can’t marry a wife
My dreams are all gone with the wind
And that’s why I refuse to forgive

CHORUS
I’m never going to save your life
So get ready for the afterlife
You’d never do the same
For me on any day
Now it’s time to say
Now it’s time to say goodbye
