I Can't Save You

Nothing you have is ever good enough    
You're always on the run
But now I see the cracks in your armor as you try to act so tough    
Shattering bravado will only last for so long    
I won't be there to keep you safe    
I won't be there to keep you sane    
Missed phone calls, unread texts    
Go run and tell the rest    
The damage is done    
Bitter words still left on my tongue    
Go run, go run back to him    
We were on your side    
We stood by you    
We picked up the shatter pieces and mended you back together    
We won't feel sorry for you    
So tell me the truth, was it worth watching your friends give up on you    
Go run, go run back to him    
When he tells you he never wanted you    
When he tells you 727 miles of distance was more than enough    
I won't be there    
When his fist hits the wall    
When your flesh becomes the drywall    
When his hands wrap around your neck    
Followed by endless threats    
I won't be there to catch you when you fall    
When the bruises bloom and lips split    
I can't save you    
Stop telling yourself he will change, stop telling yourself you can save him    
Why would you leave my bed for someone who fucks with your head    
Why cause your heart so much misery  
Why would you let go of the warm hands of your friends for split bloody knuckles that would strike you over and over again  
So ashamed, so confused  
Left broken, mangled and bruised  
Don't be his maryter, don't be his sacrificial lamb    
I begging you, I feel it in my bones    
The sick sinking feeling of losing you is becoming all too real  
   
Please, stay    
Please, don't go
