The Thing That Would Save You Lyrics by Gates (NJ)

Bloom and Breathe

2014

[Verse 1]
I remember thinking how this medicine would be the thing that would save you
And now I’m finding out, it’s never bringing back the person I once knew
So will you look inside and see the life they’ve buried deep in your conscience
And learn they couldn’t hide the will to be the everything for yourself that you’ve been to me
[Chorus]
You won’t cut deep enough to scar the person you are
And who you are is more than voices in your head are drowning out
[Verse 2]
And here you are again, the same existence flawed by what you could not be
And I have never been so terrified of losing someone I love to their own disease
But I can’t be the one who can save you from yourself
[Bridge]
Don’t you break your heart, I don’t want to see you grind your pulse to a halt
You can’t come this far just to never know if this was ever your fault, because it never was
[Chorus]
You won’t cut deep enough to scar the person you are
And who you are is more than voices in your head are drowning out
