there's this tiktok sound drifting around
where the guy says
are you gonna save me
and the girl replies
i can't save you
im starting to feel like that with you
you texted that you needed me really bad
and that you weren't ok
im not ok either
but i didn't text you because i know
im not worth your time
you've shown me exactly that
i can't save you, not anymore
it's not my job
it's not my place to save you now
find your someone else to save you
i love you more than words express
but I can't save you anymore
i just can't
not when saving you kills me
i can't put you above me anymore
it's breaking me
and I wish you saw that
but you don't
and you can't
and you won't
you call me n say you feel like
you feel like your dying
that you can't feel a thing at all
that your drinking your pain away
that your going numb
and you need me right now
you call me to say you've missed me
was that before or after or during
drinking your memories away?
did the bourbon burn?
or were you too far gone
to feel it in your throat?
you use i love you as a weapon
a weapon of mass destruction
but the only thing your hurting is me
did the weed help?
make the memories fade faster?
or were you too far gone
to even be able to green out?
were the shrooms worth it?
or was the tripping a mix of
the drugs you put in your system
your drowning out the pain
but the reason your hurting
is because you hurt me
you only need me now
because your not sure if you have me
and the more unsure you become
the more you tell yourself
that I'll save you
i spent too much of my life
saving you
and now you think that I'll
always be there to save you
i can't save you
not anymore
you don't understand
i can't save you
