Save Yourself - Make Them Suffer

Have I been keeping you sick?

Here’s me believing a bleeding heart’s just a quick fix

All you needed was me, not my solutions or views

I wish I could take all this pain back I’ve put you through

Guess it’s too little too late

At least I can assure you;

I had the best intentions

It’s toxic, it’s noxious, ironically honest

Get out tonight, don’t say farewell

Run for your life, go save yourself

It’s twisted, it’s bitter, it’s sickly sweet

Get out alive, while there’s still time

And don’t you dare even consider a «next time»

But through it all, you managed

I left you bruised and battered

Took you for granted, took advantage and vanished

And you’d think that just for once in my life

I’d take a step back and maybe consider

What’s on your mind but no

You’re the strongest person I know

At least I can assure you I’m afraid of my reflection

It’s toxic, it’s noxious, ironically honest

Get out tonight, don’t say farewell

Run for your life, go save yourself

It’s twisted, it’s bitter, it’s sickly sweet

Get out alive, while there’s still time

And don’t you dare even consider a «next time»

You’re the strongest person I know

You’re the strongest person I know

You’re the strongest person I know

You’re the strongest person I know

I’ve never been one to express myself so directly

More with imagery and symbolism

Obscuring my faults behind a veil of metaphors and euphemisms

But just for one moment, I wanna be open and honest

If we can’t express ourselves directly

And be prepared to expect negativity

Then we’ll surely crumble under the weight of our insecurities

To search yourself

And come face to face with your demons is terrifying

But if we can’t face them, then how do we grow?

How do we recover, or know when we’re wrong?

And yes, it’s okay to be wrong and I have been wrong

And I am wrong, and I am wrong

And this is me, and in all honesty

I’m not doing so well right now

But at least I’m finding the courage to face myself

Self-deprecating?

Maybe

Self-absorbed?

Maybe

Bravery?

Definitely

(So run for your life)

I’m so sorry for all the pain and heartache that I’ve caused you

(And don’t you dare look back)

I just want you to be happy in life

I’ll come and watch from afar

And admire you and every bit of joy

And success that comes your way

(So run for your life)

I know that this is for the best

But it’s been the most difficult choice of my life

(And don’t you dare look back)

I did this for you

And knowing full well the consequences

This is me and my acceptance

All I ask is that you remember me as I walk away
