Lyric

Staring at a screen that won't reply tonight

I can't seem to close the door and kill the light

Every little reason why I cannot sleep

Keeps on piling up in the shadows deep

Trying not to call your name into the air

Filtering my words so you won't see me there

Choosing silent stories, keeping things polite

Just to keep my heavy heart out of your sight

I was only gentle, hiding what I felt

Hoping for the warmth that you had always dealt

Left unsaid and heavy, buried in the clay

It just lingers quietly at the end of day

Don’t be kind to me, don’t show me how you care

Because I’ll start to hope for things that aren't there

Don’t you call my name, don’t make me feel alive

Because I won't have the strength to fade and survive

“Don’t save me”

A choked-up SOS I cannot scream

“Don’t leave me”

Leaning on your shadow, stuck inside a dream

Just to hold onto today

The more I got used to your familiar face

The worse I got at surviving my own space

These lonely nights without you by my side

Are far too heavy for my broken pride

I only wanted you to smile for a while

To get through the wreckage with that simple smile

With that picture burning bright inside my head

I got through another day of fear instead

Every time I whisper "I hate you" to the dark

I can feel the poison leaving its own mark

Incurable addiction, tangled in the thread

Waiting for the morning, freezing in my bed

Don’t you touch my skin, don’t hold me close to you

Because I’ll break apart before we make it through

Don’t you walk away, don’t leave me in the cold

Because I’ll disappear with nothing left to hold

“Don’t save me”

A quiet SOS under my breath

“Don’t leave me”

Leaving all my breathing in your hands till death

It’s the only way I know

I’m sorry

There was no one else

Only you for me

Inside this silent room, freezing and so bare

I only listened to our breathing in the air

If I called your name, I knew right from the start

I could never go back to my guarded heart

Don’t come near

Don’t come near

Don’t come near

...But don't disappear yet

“Don’t save me”

An SOS that lingers like a dirty lie

“Don’t leave me”

My true feelings never got the chance to cry

Never found the words to say

I was leaning my whole life

On the kindness that you gave away
