I can’t save you(i survived)

(Hybrid Theory / Meteora‑inspired — rap + scream + melodic lift)

I love you, but I couldn’t save you,

I was just a kid trying not to break too.

Carrying a weight that was never mine,

Wishing I could pull you back from the decline.

“You’re selfish,” they said while I was fading,

Didn’t see the battles I was silently waging.

I saved someone’s life while losing my own,

Screaming in a room where I stood alone.

“Do you ever get tired?”

Yeah — in a way sleep never rewires.

I know I’m not the one they choose,

Not the favorite, nothing to lose.

People say I matter, but they walk away,

I begged for a place I was never meant to stay.

I’M TIRED OF BREAKING JUST TO PROVE I’M ENOUGH

Tired of giving everything and getting crushed.

I love you… but I can’t save you.

I barely made it through.

I’m tired of changing just to be replaced,

Tired of holding back tears in a hollow space.

I love you… but I can’t save you.

I’m finally saving me.

Nobody knows the real me,

The nights I cried quietly,

The hope I lost violently,

The thoughts that hit silently.

Nobody sees the fractures under my skin,

The moments I almost caved in.

I stayed in a one‑sided situation,

Breaking myself for validation.

“Nobody is coming to save you — get up.”

I told myself that when I’d had enough.

“I’m tired.”

“You’re tired?”

I’M TIRED OF GIVING EVERYTHING AND STILL BEING NOTHING.

I held on for everyone else,

Left nothing for myself.

I’m done bleeding for ghosts,

Done loving what hurts the most.

I’M TIRED OF BREAKING JUST TO PROVE I’M ENOUGH

Tired of giving everything and getting crushed.

I love you… but I can’t save you.

I barely made it through.

I’m tired of changing just to be replaced,

Tired of holding back tears in a hollow space.

I love you… but I can’t save you.

I’m finally saving me.

I couldn’t save you.

But I’m still here.
