Save Yourself
My Darkest Days Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you’re a angel with a haunted heart
If you’re smart you’d run and protect yourself
From the demon living in the dark
It’s nothing to be gained cause I can never change
You can never understand my sickness
(I’ll never understand my sickness)
From a life full of lies and a heart full of pain and sorrow
Save yourself
From the choices I make because nothing but failure follows me
Save yourself
You’re the perfect drug when it hurts like hell
I never needed anyone so much
There’s no-one else I love and I curse myself
Cause the right thing is to give you up
I’m overcome by shame cause I can never change
You can never understand my sickness
(I’ll never understand my sickness)
Save yourself
From a life full of lies and a heart full of pain and sorrow
Save yourself
From the choices I make because nothing but failure follows me
Save yourself
From a life full of lies and a heart full of pain and sorrow
Save yourself
From the choices I make because nothing but failure follows me
Save yourself
You can never understand my sickness
(I’ll never understand my sickness)
Cause I don’t understand my sickness
(I’ll never understand my sickness)
Save yourself
From a life full of lies and a heart full of pain and sorrow
Save yourself
From the choices I make because nothing but failure follows me
Save yourself
From a life full of lies and a heart full of pain and sorrow
Save yourself
From the choices I make because nothing but failure follows me

This song is a perfect description, I think, of how it feels to love someone when you suffer from severe depression and anxiety. You love them and want to be with them so much, but you don't want your sickness to effect them. You feel like a failure and that all you are is sadness and suffering, and how could anyone want to be with you? So, you tell the person you love to stay away, because you don't want to hurt them, even though you need them there more than ever.
@SarahM-lw2gd
Oof you got me. That's exactly what I'm feeling right now. I know your comment is old, but I had to say it.
@JinisBored
Fuck man, you got me
@harper6032
Yeah, that's me. I've lost so many friends, and I've distanced myself from the rest because I get it. I'm fucked up. I wouldn't stay with me either. I'd rather the people I love abandon me and be happy than with me and miserable. Because that's all that happens when they're with me. Sure, it hurts, but at this point, all I want is for them to be happy
@littlewolfie1939

One of the great things about music is when u hear a song that makes you feel as if it was written about you.
@tortis6342
That is me with the band Copper and their song Inside and Out. Good song, good band, and like this one, they don’t get enough love.
