Save Me
In the light of day
That's when you think everything is okay
I'll tell you I'm fine
And you won't cross that line
Believing this overused lie
Not daring to speak of how much I cry
I'm tired of people telling me to be strong
What a sick broken record of a song
Be strong, be strong, be strong
Save me from this suffocating silence
Take away the pain of choking on my own words
Show me the love we all so desperately seek
Tell me it's okay to have feelings
Break this statue you molded me into
In the dark of the night
That's when you find nothing is right
That silent tear falls upon her face
Her hollow breath quickening in pace
She pulls at her hair and claws at her sheets
Screaming and writhing, faster her heart beats
I'm tired of people telling me to be strong
What a sick broken record of a song
Be strong, be strong, be strong
Save me from this suffocating silence
Take away the pain of choking on my own words
Show me the love we all so desperately seek
Tell me it's okay to have feelings
Break this statue you molded me into
Back to light
You think its been alright
Rosy cheeks are actually raw
Wiping tears that no one else saw
Shining eyes are the glistening tears
A hopeless pain that only she bears
I'm tired of people telling me to be strong
What a sick broken record of a song
Be strong, be strong, be strong
Save me from this suffocating silence
Take away the pain of choking on my own words
Show me the love we all so desperately seek
Tell me it's okay to have feelings
Break this statue you molded me into
