SAVED | safe

SAVED | safe — cover art

About this song

A hard truth addressed to someone trapped in pleasing their family: "You will never be saved until you learn to save yourself, my dear." Their version of safe is just saving face — and this song refuses to play along, because she is so much more than that.

Lyrics

I guess I fit the profile Stuck around for longer than I should have done I really loved working on those songs, you know But you said I should've been thankful to Be around your family and in your bedroom Is that, is that respectful to you I don't, I don't think so Yeah, you feeling at peace Constantly needs Somebody to tend to your needs Tell me, are you really free Is this who you really wanna be I don't think so, right Saved You will never never be saved Until you learn to save yourself, my dear Save yourself, my dear Safe Let me tell your family ain't safe All they think about is saving face But all it does is keep you stuck in your place And you are so much more than that Oh, I know that I ain't perfect But I always took my responsibility How dare you say I blame shifted After two hours of owning up to what I did I don't care for your letters Don't care for your words I carried your pain While you made me hurt Now I know I ain't the first But I know I had it the worst I wish you the best I just hope you know that Saved You will never never be saved Until you learn to save yourself, my dear Save yourself, my dear Safe Let me tell your family ain't safe All they think about is saving face And all they ever do is just play Walk away from that game, please
