Chaos In My Mind

I Can't Save You, I Can't Save Me

You cling to me like I'm your lifeline,
But I'm barely holding on to mine.
You see the strength I never had,
Expect me to heal when I'm breaking bad.

I want to give you what you need,
But I can't stop my own heart from bleed.
I'm drowning in scars I've yet to face,
Lost in a world, like an endless maze.

You built me up into something more,
But inside, I'm shattered at the core.
I never promised to make things right,
I'm stumbling blindly through my own fight.

I see your pain, I feel your tears,
But I'm trapped in the weight of my own fears.
Even if I wanted, I couldn't stay,
I'm falling apart, slipping away.

I can't save you, I can't save me,
We're both too lost, too blind to see.
You hold on tight, but I'm breaking free,
You deserve more than just pieces of me.

You lean on me, thinking I'm strong,
But I've been broken for far too long.
I wish I could be what you need me to be,
But I'm too damaged, you just can't see.

You built your dreams on my fragile heart,
But it's falling to pieces, tearing apart.
I never asked for this heavy role,
When I can't even save my own soul.

But when we share a fleeting touch,
My soul lights up, it means so much.
Yet in those moments, my heart starts to ache,
Knowing, it'll make yours break.

So blame me if it helps you cope,
But know I'm drowning without hope.
I'd give you the world if I had it to give,
But I can't fix myself, I can barely live.

I can't save you, I can't stay whole,
I'm lost in the dark, out of control.
You wanted a future, but I'm fading fast,
Maybe we were never built for something to last.
