Save Yourself
Strata-G Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are your everything
Pity that you can’t be
What you need
Live a life of loneliness in exile
An overdone catalogue of fake smiles
Stairway to hell, elevate the mistakes
The lunatic injects themself with heartache
Locked away with promises of misery
Kick in the head, rub the salt deeper
Lie awake and feel you getting weaker
Ah, I hate to state the obvious
Hate to state the obvious
Hate to state the obvious
I can’t save you from yourself
Ah, I hate to state the obvious
Hate to state the obvious
Hate to state the obvious
I can’t save you from yourself
Struck down with grandiose hypotheses
Save the world with ego and authority
Fight a storm built by your making
And blame it all on pain that you’re creating
Broken heart, the guilt eating you slowly
Take a breath, the hurt infects the lonely
Slap in the face, twist the knife deeper
Hold it there, and feel you getting weaker
Ah, I hate to state the obvious
Hate to state the obvious
Hate to state the obvious
I can’t save you from yourself
Ah, I hate to state the obvious
Hate to state the obvious
Hate to state the obvious
I can’t save you from yourself
You, you are your only
You are your everything
Pity that you can’t be
What you need
You are your only
You are your everything
Pity that you can’t be
What you need
Ah, I hate to state the obvious
Hate to state the obvious
Hate to state the obvious
I can’t save you from yourself
Ah, I hate to state the obvious
Hate to state the obvious
Hate to state the obvious
I can’t save you from yourself
