I wrote this song about being in a relationship with someone who has a savior complex. Throughout our relationship, they seemed to grow stronger as I grew weaker; they believed they deserved praise for putting up with my issues. It left me with such an anger, such a confusion that this song came pou...
[Verse 1]
I don't wanna be the life of the party
I don't wanna be the funny one
I don't wanna be the call when you're lonely
Don't have time to come undone
I don't wanna wear a skirt that short
You always try to dance too close
I don't wanna drink so much I can't stand
Straight up on my own
[Pre-Chorus]
Is it nice
When I need you tell me it's fine?
Do you like
When I crash in your bed at the end of a long night?
[Chorus]
Bet you feel like you're Jesus Christ
Like you saved my life
Like I'm better
Like I'm some sort of sacrifice
Spending all of your time
What a savior
[Verse 2]
I don't wanna keep the lights on
While you close your eyes and picture her
What's the point in staying conscious?
Give me something that'll ease the hurt
[Pre-Chorus]
Is it nice
When I need you to tell me it's fine?
Do you like
How I say I don't need you but always change my mind?
[Chorus]
Bet you feel like you're Jesus Christ
Like you saved my life
Like I'm better
Like I'm some sort of sacrifice
Spending all of your time
What a savior
[Bridge]
Forgive me father, I have sinned
You wouldn't like the shape I'm in
Burning holes in every Bible
Calling suicide survival
Say I should be thanking him
For all the good the poor boy did
Guess I'm far too hard to handle
Tell 'em baby
[Chorus]
Bet you feel like you're Jesus Christ
Like you saved my life
Like I'm better
Like I'm some sort of sacrifice
Spending all of your time
What a savior
