lyrics

Hook:
You, you were my only,
You were my everything
Pity that you can't be
What you need

Verse:
Live a life of loneliness in exile
An overdone catalogue of fake smiles
Stairway to hell, elevate the mistakes
The lunatic injects themself with heartache.
Suffocating on your own stupidity
Locked away with promises of misery
Kick in the head, rub the salt deeper
Lie awake and feel you getting weaker.

Chorus:
Ah, I hate to state the obvious
Hate to state the obvious
Hate to state the obvious
I can’t save you from yourself
Ah, I hate to state the obvious
Hate to state the obvious
Hate to state the obvious
I can’t save you from yourself

Verse:
Struck down with grandiose hypotheses
Save the world with ego and authority
Fight a storm built by your making
And blame it all on pain that you’re creating
Broken heart, the guilt eating you slowly
Take a breath, the hurt infects the lonely
Slap in the face, twist the knife deeper
Hold it there, and feel you getting weaker

Chorus:
Ah, I hate to state the obvious
Hate to state the obvious
Hate to state the obvious
I can’t save you from yourself
Ah, I hate to state the obvious
Hate to state the obvious
Hate to state the obvious
I can’t save you from yourself

Hook:
You, you were my only,
You were my everything
Pity that you can't be
What you need

Chorus:
Ah, I hate to state the obvious
Hate to state the obvious
Hate to state the obvious
I can’t save you from yourself
Ah, I hate to state the obvious
Hate to state the obvious
Hate to state the obvious
I can’t save you from yourself
