I Can'T Always Save You
You always call on me to save you
But I can't be here for when the next man breaks you
I've got my own problems and have to make it through my Maze too
I'm sorry but I can't always save you
I'm tired of putting people first who treat me as second best
So I'm focusing on myself more and them less
If that makes me selfish and arrogant then so be it
But I'm a man of my word and will never expose secrets
I've came to realise you have to watch who you're around
I pulled people out of the water just for them to throw me in to drown
The sharks smelt my blood, But a survivor will always find a way to survive
You have to kill your fear in order to stay alive
I played enough girls when I was young, so I guess it's karma for you to be playing me
By being grateful and respectful is how you should be repaying me
But instead you always want more and take advantage
That's why I'm focusing on myself and won't be here for your next panic
You think just because you're pretty I'll be on call and wait
Ssdly for you, I've realised I deserve better than being put in second place
You took advantage of my kind nature, so now you're on your own
I've realised I'm a king and I won't be dethroned
You showed no gratitude when I was always there to save you
Funny how I helped you escape your problems, When I needed to escape you
I've got to make it through my own maze too
Sorry But I won't be there to save you
