Save Me, I’m Honest

(Soft hum, slow tempo 78 BPM, minimal bass, haunting echo)

Up there… (yeah)

Who do I have?

Heaven and hell, my only friends I ever had.

I won’t shed a tear, I’m numb again —

Let them see me break, I’ll never pretend.

⸻

Maybe it’s the way I was made to survive,

Cut my heart out just to stay alive.

I see people as ghosts, reflections I fake,

Love’s just a game, and I bend ‘til I break.

Five months later, still by my side,

You should’ve run when I learned to lie.

You keep forgiving, I keep sinning,

You call it love, I call it winning.

Gun to my head and you still can’t save me,

Another hit and it don’t faze me.

Took another fall, yeah, I’m fading —

Tell me why you’re still waiting.

⸻

Voices in my head,

Tell me I’m already dead.

Don’t cry for me — just go,

You can’t fix a soul this cold.

⸻

So save me (save me),

Before I fall (I fall).

So save me —

I don’t wanna go alone (alone).

And I know, I’ve betrayed you,

But I’ll do it again —

I keep breaking hearts

Just to see how it ends.

So save me (save me),

Before I fall (I fall).

So save me —

I don’t wanna die alone.

⸻

I don’t understand why you’re still forgiving,

Caught me red-handed but you still keep living

Like I’m worth the pain, like I’m still your peace —

But I’m poison, babe, you can’t set me free.

You paint your face when the cops come knockin’,

Lie for me while my demons talkin’.

You say “this is the last time,” then cry,

But I see the truth in your tired eyes.

⸻

(Reverb-heavy, guitar distortion fades in)

Why are you heartless? — who made you this way?

You beg for the reason I push you away.

You want the answer, I draw a blank,

I drown in guilt while you watch me sink.

(soft echo)

I draw a blank… I draw a blank.

⸻

So save me (save me),

Before I fall (I fall).

So save me —

I don’t wanna go alone.

I’ve betrayed you (betrayed you),

Please don’t forgive me again.

I’ll always be honest —

This is how it ends.

(soft)

Voices in my head, they said I’m gone…

But I still hear you singing along.

⸻

(Slow heartbeat sample fading out)

I have betrayed you…

Please don’t forgive me.

I have betrayed you…

Just… let me go.

(final whisper)

So save me.
