We all want to save someone
But sometimes the one that needs saving is you
I've disregard myself daily
Put those before me
Way to pay for what I've done
We all want to save someoneMy mentality toxic I know
But why save myself
I never thought I'd make to sixteen
But here we are
I'm in therapy trying to
Learn how to save myself and not others
We all want to save someoneI've forgotten what I wanted from life
Just a ghost meandering in the wind
Gotta save myself before
I can save another person
We all want to save someoneBut then you forget that you could
Be the one who needs saving
Got people I can count on
Not many But they got my back I got theirs
But what if that's not enough
You either sink or you swim
We all want to save someoneI've sunk in the darkness to many times
I've lost count of how often the thought
Of snuffing my life out
Like a flame that never lit the pit
Bounces around in my fractured brain
We all want to save someoneThe thing is when in darkness there's light
Just got look around for it
Friends, family, pets, games, ect
They can all be the light you need to
Escape the darkness drowning you
They'll be the things that makes you swim
We all want to save someoneTo save one's self can be liberating
Unchained by the burden of the past
Or the chains of trauma either way
You'll be free from them
We all want to save someoneThe thing is when you save yourself
You can think clearly
Appreciate the things around you
That the darkness makes you neglecte
We all want to save someone
