Keepsake - Driftwood Lyrics

I tried to save you from this
Save you from yourself
I learned that it was pointless
Dragged myself through hell
For you
I do regret
All the time wasted
Took so long to realize
But now I'm cutting ties
Here we are
Can't say that I'm surprised
Kept me like an insect in a jar
Never to be out of your sight
Pull the rope so tight
And you don't care at all
You pulled with all your might
Kick the chair to fall
Lost the will to fight
Can't even see what used to be
With the mess you've made of me
Lied to myself about this
About our drifting health
Couldn't take much more of it
Pain inflicted with stealth
Went through every day
Spoke through gritted teeth
Not much to say anyway
With the truth buried underneath
(Buried underneath)
Pull the rope so tight
And you don't care at all
You pulled with all your might
Kick the chair to fall
Lost the will to fight
Can't even see what used to be
With the mess you've made of me
You pull me back in
Clinging to never let go
Dug your nails into my skin
Acts of Kindness, all for show
You pull the rope so tight
And you don't care at all
Pull with all your might
Kick the chair to fall
Lost the will to fight
Can't even see what used to be
With the mess you've made of me
