Another Band-aid on my bullet wound today.
I tried to talk to you but you just don’t get my pain.
Falling deeper in this pit you named despair,
I look around for help but its all of you that I followed there.
I was closer than you thought when the gun went off.
You didn’t mean to hit me but you did,
Didn’t mean to break me but I am.
You never thought you’d find me here but this is where I’ve been.
I have passed the place where salt could fix my wounds.
What you did’s been done and that won’t be healing soon.
I feel heavy with you’re word on my back
Oh I know this can’t be how you save the damned.
You didn’t mean to hit me but you did,
Didn’t mean to break me but I am.
You never thought you’d find me here but this is where I’ve been.
