MAKLANI - Save Me Original Mix

You Left a Sweater on My Couch
Work past it seven times
Every time I almost call, but the
Version of me that misses lonely never shows
Still you’re halfway out the door
And then I’m breaking every wall
It’s a pattern
I’ve been studying like homework
I keep failing
You say, “Tell me what you need,”
And know my mouth just starts a race
I’m racing
Treat a soft touch like a test
I should be acing, but I freeze it
Now you’re staring at a silence space
And then the worst part is a fight
It’s the morning after that
When you’re making coffee like I did
Spending now, pushing back every gentle
Thing you offer
I’ve been treating [love] like a trap
Not because I think you’re lying
I just don’t know how to unpack
What it means to let somebody see the
Room behind the curtain
I’ve been fixing all the damage with the tools
That I know—hurting
You’re not asking
For a change or for a different person
Just a version that says, “I’m not okay”
Without it sounding like a verdict
Save me from myself
Save me from the lonely
Save me
I can’t be
Save
Staring at the ceiling since 3:00 a.m.
Again
My thoughts feel like uninvited
Guess I never leave
I’ve got a habit of
Admitting that I’m reaching for a hand
And pretend I never said it
When you’re laying next to me, you ask, “How am I sleeping?”
I said “Better”—that’s a lie
Truth is, I’ve been waking up with
Magnets in my chest, pulling every kind
Of comfort straight into the fire
I don’t trust the quiet, so I start a
Fight instead
And you’re too good to
Stay patient
Yeah, that’s the problem
Looking for a reason, you should finally
Get exhausted
Every compliment you give me gets redirected
The fact that to the roof feels like an argument I’ve lost
I could trace it back to something that my
Father said
I own it like a jacket that
I bought and never fit
Lately, I’ve been catching myself hoping that you
Leave
Not because I want you gone
I’m just waiting for you to quit
Save me
From the quiet
Save me
From the quiet
Save me
I don’t know how
Save me
Don’t let go now
Sh
Stay
Stay
