don't save me

you say

we must move forward

and i say

let's not go back

once we were brave explorers

but this trail is a worn-out track

don't chase that setting sun

look what we've become

don't save me

i'll save you the hassle

our little castle is a house of cards

it's empty

heartache is pending

this is us ending

you say

you were just kidding

and i say

this is no joke

we've grown and we're not fitting

we've flamed out to a wisp of smoke

don't turn the truth around

it reads the same way upside-down

so don't save me

don't you dare

little by little

sneaking upon

till it's too much to ignore

let's leave in the middle

before it dead ends

i've been down this road

don't you dare leave me here

i'll go looking elsewhere!

so don't save me

don't you dare
