You could have saved me.

You could have saved me

But your silence cuts so deep

Leaving wounds that can't heal

Love inches to like

Faith left lying on the floor

Away in a ..river of pain it flows

Hate nicely wrapped in a box

Placed up on a shelf

With my name on the tag

Hate to use on myself

Spelt it from the four letters that I've taken from your name

It's a part of you, a part of me

Created from the spaces you left in between





You could have saved me

But you chose to leave me alone

You've left me torn

Sit and sink until the fucking day is done

You could have saved me

But you chose to lead me to a place I used to know

You've left me cold

Sit and sink until I'm fucking far from gone

Days used to be so beautiful

Now I wish there was none

Life used to be worth living

Don't know how I used to be thankful that it had been given

Was a waste, now I'm pleading for it to be taken
