about

this song is about reclamation.

lyrics

I am a liar
Waiting to pretend
I am okay and this means nothing
I won’t be back

I am a savior
She won’t love you the way you want her to
And he’s out back on the phone hearing them say you tried to die all alone
I am a single word

I am like a wound
(On the front of your wrist that just won’t seal up and stop)
Bleeding out, ‘cause you like to…
(‘Cause you like to cut your skin and cry for help)
A bottle of pills just might stop
(Stop you from wanting to kill yourself)
But it’s just another method for finding a way out

I am a liar, I am a savior
I am a liar, I won’t be back

I am a liar
(She thinks you’re the sun, but you can’t tell her the truth)
I am a savior
(You hate your body so you open it up)
I’ve been set on fire
(You weren’t meant to be born at all)
I am so tired
(Don’t listen to them, you’re already enough)

I’m not a liar
(Someday you’ll be able to tell them the truth)
(It won’t be long now, just one more night)
I’m not a savior
(Your body’s not broken, it just needs to be loved)
(It won’t be long now, don’t give up tonight)
I’m just doing the best that I can
(One day you’ll look back and wonder what you were so scared of)
(It won’t be long now, just hold on tight)

I promise I’ll be back
