I tried to erase your worries, but you used permanent ink
And I once had room for both our pain, then the room began to shrink
And I said I'd be your lifeboat, then we both started to sink
So I hope you don't need saving just as much as you think

Take my hand we can both drown in the mire
Tell me every secret, I'll be sure to wear a wire
We built a home, then I set that shit on fire
Next time you need a fuck up, hope I'm the one you hire

Won least improved prize, framed it on my shelf
Made us both a bleach martini and then took a toast to our health
Mediocre is my name, savage beyond help
How the fuck can I fix you, I can't even fix myself

I tried to erase your worries, but you used permanent ink
And I once had room for both our pain, then the room began to shrink
And I said I'd be your lifeboat, then we both started to sink
So I hope you don't need saving just as much as you think

I sheltered you from an outside I could not keep out
Cut the pain off at the source but then it took another route
Thought I would make you happy now I have my doubts
Are you better knowing me or are you be better off without

Actions expensive, good intentions are free
I'm the drop of acid that pollutes entire seas
Been growing branches, but I planted berries
How can I help you, I can't even help me

I can't even help me
I tried to erase your worries
