Gates - The Thing That Would Save You lyrics

I remember thinking how this
Medicine would be
The thing that would save you
And now I’m finding out
It’s never bringing back the
Person I once knew
So will you look inside and see the
Life they’ve buried deep in your conscience
And learn they couldn’t hide the
Will to be the
Everything for yourself that you’ve
Been to me

You won’t cut deep enough to
Scar the person you are
And who you are is more than voices
In your head are drowning out

And here you are again
The same existence flawed by what
You could not be
And I have never been so terrified of losing
Someone I love to their own disease
But, I can’t be the one who
Can save you from yourself

Don’t you break your heart
I don’t want to see you grind
Your pulse to a halt
You can’t come this far just to never
Know if this was ever your fault
Because it never was

You won’t cut deep enough to
Scar the person you are
And who you are is more than voices
In your head are drowning out
