person to save Lyrics

Helen, there was some part of you

That I will now do my best to keep alive

'Cause since I left, I've just become

A shell of what I once was, now isn't that right?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not here saying that I'd give you one more chance to be my friend

It's just, without you, things have changed

Thought I'd be happier without you

But now that I'm on my own, can you tell me why I hate the way I am

Carrying you home with your shitty boyfriend

Drying your tears in a crowded cafe

Sitting with you in the chilling silence

'Cause I've run out of things to say

Where did we go wrong and what did I do

To make you so scared of me?

I'm glad you're at peace, but I kinda miss being

Important to somebody

I get it

I understand

Why you chose to lie to my face

And tell all my friends how I made you feel unsafe

Lying

Lying is what kept you alive

It's the only truth this world has shown you

So you had to abide

I don't blame you

I'm not mad

But you hurt the child in my heart

And I can't live with that

But I don't blame you

SO Go on and be free

It was never your job to make me feel like I was somebody

I was never your burden to carry

You were never my person to save

We were two stupid kids

Too young to know better

Too stubborn to get out of our own way

You should never have suffered my friendship

I should never have met you at all

But it's too late to go back

And the years will now change us

And I will be haunted by who I was before you

And I'll be the boy who betrayed you

And you'll be the girl that I lost

Which makes you just like the rest of the women I loved

And the poetry will pay the cost

So be free and live on without me

And I hope that the years will be kind

I hope you follow your dreams and you tend to your heart

And I hope you find peace in your mind

Helen, there was some part of you

That I will now do my best to keep alive
