Lyrics for Not Your Savior

Unlucky seventeen Already handed plans for the future Glamour obsessed, told how to dress And shown how to think And I don't have a job But I can show you how to be a slob So many days, wasted and glazed Sometimes I laugh out loud as I think about You asking me "Please can you help?" Can't help myself I'm not your saviour I'm not who you want me to be A cowardly mistake I've made so many times before Refusing to break Cut my losses ties them with you Like a good boy I'll pretend And promise not to do it again Do you remember when Life was so simple and permanent? Everyone's changed Everyone's cool Everyone sucks but I can't seem to complain Exciting and new is just not there You're getting scared I'm not your saviour Never thought I was anyway I'm a void with empty promises that backs out late Never said I'd change Taking back the words that we spoke Like a fuel tank running dry You'll believe it when I choke You'll believe it when I choke
