Savior Complex Lyrics

Do you remember when we were kids

Snorting candy in the kitchen and getting hair dye on our hands

Our lives were tangled messes then

We were frayed at every edge but thought it pretty in our heads

And at night I'd lie and burn

But you would turn me into ash

I wish I could drag you to my present

A snapshot of way back when

We stood side by side as friends

I'm living out my dreams now

But I still miss you somehow

It still hurts how we wrote the end

And I know that I am not your savior

But I wish that your life could be better

I still remember how you felt

When I pushed myself a bit too close, my features'd start to melt

I flew too close to your flames

We've both grown since then, I'll never make that same mistake again

And at night I would be doused

But you would always come around

I wish I could drag you to my present

A snapshot of way back when

We stood side by side as friends

I'm living out my dreams now

But I still miss you somehow

It still hurts how we wrote the end

And I know that I am not your savior

But I wish that your life could be better

And now you're burning out

I wish I knew how to help someone like you

But I refuse to use myself as kindling

Oh, I hope that you can please forgive me

I wish I could drag you to my present

A snapshot of way back when

We stood side by side as friends

I'm living out my dreams now

But I still miss you somehow

It still hurts how we wrote the end

And I know that I am not some savior

But I wish that I could regret her
