My heart rattles in a cage of confinement
Stuck in self-pitying agony
The same old rut as the day before last
Meant to make my life pass
Sirens, were my wakeup call
The lack of your blood on my hands relived my sorrow
I saved you, or condemned you
Depending on how you looked at it
I stopped your soul from parting
But, kept you in a world you were fleeting from
Hoping you used your second chance better than I had mine.

You in a sense were my savior,
Opened my mind to the idea of happiness once more
The consent that I saved you by being alive that night
And not bleeding out in a bathroom on New Year’s Eve
A kiss breathed life back into my dead body
And that phone call kept your heart beating another night

Flushing the blood thirsty demons down the toilet
Along with the last few tears of the past
Scars fading as a smile returns to greet the sunshine of tomorrow
Because hell froze over in my heart and made way for the truth to come to me again
Opened up my life to all the possibilities it offered
Because if I would've died on those late nights were I was done trying
Way out of my league with nowhere to turn to
I would have never been alive to save you
Or all the lives I plan to save now that I know mine isn't worthless

And yours isn't either
Every breath you breathe is worth more than the last
So please don't give up cause I swear to god this will pass
And you'll look back like me one day
And know it got better and was all okay
So just know you're not alone whenever you feel that way
Because a slice may suffice but won't help you live your life
And you may hate me but one day you'll thank me
Because by saving your life I gave you flight
To find yourself once more and lovely that is so fucking beautiful
And one day I hope you see that too
