Not Your Savior - Tony Sly

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 aloud as I think about

You asking me «Please can you help?»

Can’t help my self

I’m not your savior

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 savior

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
