Save Yourself Songtext
von Make Them Suffer

Have I been keeping you sick?
Here′s me believing a bleeding heart's just a quick fix
All you needed was me, not my solutions or views
I wish I could take all this pain back I′ve put you through

Guess it's too little too late
At least I can assure you, I had the best intentions

It's toxic, it′s noxious, ironically honest
Get out tonight, don′t say farewell
Run for your life, go save yourself
It's twisted, it′s bitter, it's sickly sweet
Get out alive, while there′s still time
And don't you dare even consider a "next time"

But through it all, you managed, I left you bruised and battered
Took you for granted, took advantage and vanished
And you′d think that just for once in my life
I'd take a step back and maybe consider what's on your mind but no

You′re the strongest person I know
At least I can assure you I′m afraid of my reflection


It's toxic, it′s noxious, ironically honest
Get out tonight, don't say farewell
Run for your life, go save yourself
It′s twisted, it's bitter, it′s sickly sweet
Get out alive, while there's still time
And don't you dare even consider a "next time"

You′re the strongest person I know
You′re the strongest person I know
You're the strongest person I know
You′re the strongest person I know

I've never been one to express myself so directly
More with imagery and symbolism
Obscuring my faults behind a veil of metaphors and euphemisms
But just for one moment, I wanna be open and honest

If we can′t express ourselves directly
And be prepared to expect negativity
Then we'll surely crumble under the weight of our insecurities
To search yourself

And come face to face with your demons is terrifying
But if we can′t face them, then how do we grow?
How do we recover, or know when we're wrong?
And yes, it's okay to be wrong and I have been wrong

And I am wrong, and I am wrong


And this is me, and in all honesty I′m not doing so well right now
But at least I′m finding the courage to face myself
Self deprecating? Maybe
Self absorbed? Maybe
Bravery? Definitely (So run for your life)

I'm so sorry for all the pain and heartache that I′ve caused you
I just want you to be happy in life (And don't you dare look back)
I′ll come and watch from afar
And admire you and every bit of joy and success that comes your way (So run for your life)

I know that this is for the best, but it's been most difficult choice of my life
I did this for you, and knowing full well the consequences (And don′t you dare look back)
This is me and my acceptance
All I ask is that you remember me as I walk away
