Saving Who?

[Verse 1]

Late night, same road, high beams

Empty seat, but I still speak like you beside me

Talking to the rearview, eyes red, voice weak

Swear I see your outline in the glass every time I blink

Tried to patch your storms with my bare hands

Bleeding through the bandage, still I said, "I understand"

Played the brave one, capes made of loose threads

Smiling while my ribs caved in, “I’m fine,” unsaid

[Chorus]

I keep saving everybody, who gon’ save me?

Always pull you from the fire, but it stays in me

I’m the lonely hero, capes don’t heal bones

Hold the whole world up, walk back home alone

I keep saving everybody, who gon’ save me?

Turn your nightmares into quiet, then I can't sleep

I’m the lonely hero, broken halo

If I’m always saving you, who’s saving my soul?

[Verse 2]

Heart turn voicemail, you call when you crash

I answer on the first ring, you hang when you’re back

I memorize your storms, you forget my rain

You vent for twenty minutes, never ask my name

Mama said, "You can't breathe for two"

But I’m chest-deep, trying to keep you from the blue

Drowning, still I tell you, "Breathe slow, hold on"

Bubbles from my lungs while I hum your favorite song (yeah)

[Chorus]

I keep saving everybody, who gon’ save me?

Always pull you from the fire, but it stays in me

I’m the lonely hero, capes don’t heal bones

Hold the whole world up, walk back home alone

I keep saving everybody, who gon’ save me?

Turn your nightmares into quiet, then I can't sleep

I’m the lonely hero, broken halo

If I’m always saving you, who’s saving my soul?
