Sad Savior

Skin against skin covering bone, The body you're in is aggressively slim. Yeah, you earned the clothes you put on it To cover up where you've been. No leave those scars at home, Let them slide down the length Of your spine, cross your knees Then down past your feet. They slow our momentum each time You're reminded that they're there You don't have to pretend to be an orphan anymore. You don't have to pretend to be important anymore. That brutal you, exhumed and removed Entombed in a box cached across your room. It slows our momentum each time I'm reminded that it's there. Your anxious tongue spills cautious words Yeah it's gotten so used to being misunderstood. You do your best to control it Remind yourself that you care You don't have to pretend to be an orphan anymore. You don't have to pretend to be important anymore. Hey, sad savior, you don't have to pretend to be an orphan anymore "Oh, never, not ever again!" Is what you swore the last time this happened "Never, not ever again!" Are you gonna settle for those bastards? "Never not ever again!" "Never! (Not ever, no!) No, never! (Not ever, no!)" "Never not ever again!" Is what you swore... You don't have to pretend to be an orphan anymore You don't have to pretend to be important anymore Anymore! So hey, sad savior You don't have to pretend to be an orphan Not an orphan anymore --- Sad Savior - Taking Back Sunday
