I Was the One Lyrics

You wanted a martyr

But I didn't die for you

I'm not the means to every end

I gave you an answer

But you questioned every word

You thought you could make me someone else

I was the one who sounded the alarm

But you said it didn't matter

That you think we could get better

Now here we are without

I was a fire but I burned out way too quick

I wasn't warm enough for us

And when the smoke cleared

You couldn't turn away

You thought you could save me from myself

I was the one who shouldered all the blame

And I said it didn't matter

That you think you could do better

Now here we are

I was the one who sounded the alarm

But you said it didn't matter

And it's never getting better

Now here we are without

It's hard to be the one that's hanging on

It's hard to be the one that's hanging on

It's hard to be the one that's hanging on

When everybody else is letting go
