Don't Save Me
The Bad Chapter Lyrics

They say that I can't buy happiness
I paid for this pill and I'm still unhappy, so what's the point?

Then why the fuck did I pay for this pill?
If happiness can't be bought, then why did I try?

If I'm absorbed in my recklessness
I'm stuck in this cycle of self-destructive behavior

Why the hell don't I feel a single thrill?
Even though I'm doing all these dangerous things, I don't actually feel alive

And you can say what you wanna about the things I do
I don't judge others for what they do, so don't judge me

But I've never been one to, to push my judgement on you
I don't want to project my problems onto others

I'm just looking for the next lift up
I'm always searching for the next high to escape my problems

A couple hours to forget my sins, and my bad luck
I just want a brief escape from my regrets and misfortunes

I've never been one to use
I never used to turn to drugs to solve my problems

All the things that I once viewed as the easy way out
I used to believe that drugs were the easy way out, but now I'm stuck

Now I open my mouth and commit this sad abuse
I'm addicted and I can't stop using, even though I know it's hurting me

Don't you save me now
I don't want to be saved, I want to continue down this path

Cause my life doesn't hurt
Drugs make me feel better and numb the pain

And these drugs are how
I rely on drugs to survive

Please save me now
Even though I say I don't want to be saved, I really do

Cause my body's in need
I physically depend on drugs now

But my brain won't allow
Even though I want to stop, my addiction won't let me

Checking my pulse make sure that I'm still alive
Sometimes I get scared that I'll overdose and die

I haven't felt pain in quite some time
Drugs numb the pain both physically and mentally

Just to think I was afraid of the weight
I used to be afraid of the consequences of my actions

My actions would put on display
Now I'm more concerned with getting my next fix than what others think of me

There's nothing left that I can say
I feel like I'm past the point of no return

That would relate to a person living for the next day
No one can understand the despair that comes with addiction

Cause I've just now figured out
I've come to the realization that I need help, but I don't know how to ask for it

Just how much I can take
I'm reaching my breaking point and I know I can't keep going on like this

Without going down
I don't want to hit rock bottom before I try to change

Yeah you can't save me now
I feel so far gone that no one can help me anymore

I know of something that can turn your problems into nothing
Drugs seem like a way to escape from my problems, but they only make them worse

I know of many things that turn dead thoughts into something
I'm searching for anything that will make me feel alive again
