SAVE ME

I was just a shadow in your world
Trying not to disappear
You never turned to see me break
You never cared enough to hear

I carried every quiet ache
Hoping that someday you would stay
But every time I reached for you
You close to slowly walk away

I used to think you were the only one
Who could pull me from the dark
But now I see the truth I ran from
I was saving me from the start

When I was falling I would scream
Somebody save me
Let your warm voice break right through
Somebody save me

But no one ever heard
The truth inside my voice
And now you're the one who's calling
But I'm not waiting for you
But I'm not waiting for you

I learned to stand on broken legs
Turn every crack into a flame
I'm not the boy you threw away
I'm not the one you tried to tame

Your ghost still tries to pull me back
But I've outgrown your gravity
And now you say you'll miss the past
But that's not who I am, not me

You had a chance to see my heart
But you were busy letting go
I built myself from every part
You never cared enough to know

When I was falling I would scream
Somebody save me
Let your warm voice break right through
Somebody save me

But no one ever heard
The truth inside my voice
And now you're the one who's calling
But I'm not waiting for you

I don't need a hero
To tell me who I'm meant to be
I found the strength you never saw
In the parts of me you set free

Somebody save me
I used to cry it every night
But now that I don't need saving
You finally realized

When I was falling I would scream
Somebody save me
Let your warm voice break right through
Somebody save me

You only cared when I was gone
Without a choice
And now you're the one who's calling
But I'm not waiting for you
No, I'm not waiting for you
