You From You

I fought since my youth
I scraped the pain away
I've come to a conclusion
That there are no words to say
Even though I've done all I could
There are so many things I can't do
One is to save you from you.

I offer me and all that's true
My peace within might guide you through
Your darkest times and your loneliest days
But I can't save you
I can't save you from you.

Because you didn't climb at all
And I didn't want to fall
But I never needed more
Than your heart, that was all
You never gave it up
And I didn't want to fight
In a war on the inside.

So I offered me and I saw it through
My peace within, I gave it all to you
And in your darkest times
Through your glorious days
I gave it all to you
But I can't save you from you.

Because you didn't climb at all
And I didn't want to fall
But I never needed more
Than your heart, that was all
You never gave it up
And I didn't want to fight
In a war on the inside.

I'm leaving you, I'm leaving you
From the dead lights
Through the dark nights and the insights
I cannot save you from you.

Because you didn't climb at all
And I didn't want to fall
But I never needed more
Than your heart, that was all
I had to give you up
I didn't last the fight
Because I knew
I couldn't save you from you.
