Don't Need You To Save Me

by Karin Erlacher   May 23, 2022


Drink think, think drink
I'm on the brink, gone in a blink
Or maybe I'm not, I don't know
But here I go
Thoughts scatter
As I realize I don't matter
In the grand scheme of things
But that's just my mind playing tricks on me
Right? Right
Or maybe not, how would I know?
I've got nowhere to go, no one to see
Not that anyone would wanna see me
Not the way that I am now
Not when I'm this broken down
Not when I can't stop crying
Can't stop lying
Pretending to be okay
So no one tries to step in and play
The hero, I don't need it
Maybe I do, but I don't want to
I won't let you
Save me.
Not when I've got new tricks up my sleeve
Anyways they always leave
Remind them to shut the door
To burn the bridge on the way out
Cuz I don't forget when they abandon me
And I won't let them back in to see
How much I'm still struggling
