I Want You to Save Me, But I Know You Won't
Poem of a failing relationship
I can’t do this anymore
I thought you fell in love with me
At a Mayday Parade show
I tried to believe in you
But I don’t think you believe
I wish you knew everything you could be
And I tried
I tried to give you my broken world
And I did mean every word
But for some reason
You’re not willing to take
You tell me to hush
And throw us into the void
You are just a star
That is apparently too high for me
Or maybe I’m the star
A dream I wish you’d need
I just want someone to love me to death
To pick up the pieces of my silhouette
Can you hold me as I fall apart?
Cause I think we’ve wasted our time away
When time was ours to waste
I’ll still be here
When you’re on the cover
Of your rock magazines
I think I know what I mean to you
I’ll always remember
The smile across your face
As you looked down on me
From up there on stage
You tear apart the ones you love
I wish there was a way
I could tell you
Everything you mean to me
Love me, love me to death
I listen to your songs
I hear your pain
I know what you want
It’s too bad you don’t realize
I have all you need
So this is my heart
That you’ve almost broken to pieces
I want you to save me
But I know you won’t
Because you won’t know what I am to you
Until I’m already gone
