Save Yourself
Dopamine Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everything is changing for once
It's not my heart that breaking for once

Brace yourself for one last fall
Make sure you stay in control of this
Use your head and not your heart and you will get through

Stare into the Sun, but don't lose focus

If you look away everything might change
The space between the lines, so hopeless in disguise - Your fear is your own

Take this cause it's yours to hold
You won't see the mess I'm in because it won't be there when you open your eyes up
Is this what you wish for?

Everything is changing for once
It's someone else's heart thats breaking for once..

Save yourself, admit your wrong
Step back now before you start again
Hold your breath, make a wish and you will get through

Stare into the Sun, but don't lose focus
If you look away everything might change
The space between the lines, so hopeless in disguise - Your fear is your own

Take this cause it's yours to hold
You won't see the mess I'm in because it won't be there when you open your eyes up
Is this what you wish for?

Mirrors hide our feelings, reflections of the way we were
I made this world so keep believing that you will
Not ...be left alone

Take this cause it's yours to hold

You won't see the mess I'm in because it won't be there when you open your eyes up
Is this what you wish for?
