Gates - The Thing That Would Save You lyrics

rate me

I remember thinking how this medicine

Would be the thing

That would save you

And now I’m finding out

It’s never bringing back the person

I once knew

So will you look inside?

And see the life they’ve buried

Deep in your conscience

And learn they couldn’t hide

The will to be the everything for yourself

That you’ve been to me

You won’t cut deep enough

To scar the person you are

And who you are

Is more than voices in your head

Are drowning out

And here you are again,

The same existence flawed

By what you could not be

And I have never been so terrified

Of losing someone

I love to their own disease

But I can’t be the one

Who can save you from yourself

Instrumental

Don’t you break your heart

I don’t want to see you grind

Your pulse to a halt

You can’t come this far

Just to never know

If this was ever your fault,

Because it never was

You won’t cut deep enough

To scar the person you are

And who you are

Is more than voices in your head

Are drowning out

Instrumental

But I can’t be the one

Who can save you from yourself

But I can’t be the one

Who can save you from yourself
