Lyrics

⸻

🎵 Title: “Save Yourself (Before I Break)”

(In the emotional, haunting style of Motionless in White’s “Another Life”)

⸻

[Intro – ambient synths + soft clean vocal]
I tried to hold the weight you never faced
But love can’t grow inside a shattered space

⸻

[Verse 1 – melodic clean with ghostly harmony]
You say you’re better when you lie
So I lived inside your alibi
Every promise was a loaded gun
And every “stay” meant “watch me run”

I begged the shadows not to take you
But you made your home in the dark too
And I can’t be your oxygen
When you refuse to breathe it in

⸻

[Pre-Chorus – build with guitars and vocal layering]
I loved you through the chaos and decay
But your silence carved my soul away

⸻

[Chorus – explosive and emotional]
So save yourself before I break
This love can’t carry both our weight
I held you up while you sank low
But now I’m drowning in the undertow
You need more than what I gave
You need healing, not my grave
So save yourself…
Before I fade

⸻

[Verse 2 – whispered start, then swelling into melody]
You wore your pain like a disguise
So no one saw the truth in your eyes
But I knew every crack and scar
Still it never brought me where you are

I can’t be the light if you kill the flame
Can’t take the fall for your shame
I loved you deep, I loved you blind
But this time, I have to choose my life

⸻

[Pre-Chorus – more intensity, almost screamed]
I reached for you inside the wreck
But you just turned and left me wrecked

⸻

[Chorus – full band, emotional scream-laced backing]
So save yourself before I break
This love can’t carry both our weight
I held you up while you sank low
But now I’m drowning in the undertow
You need more than what I gave
You need healing, not my grave
So save yourself…
Before I fade

⸻

[Bridge – instrumental drop, whisper to scream build]
I would’ve walked through hell for you
But you won’t even take a step
I broke my heart to keep you whole
But love like that is death

[Breakdown – full scream, distorted and brutal]
I won’t bleed just to feel alive
I won’t die so you survive
You need more than love to grow
So fix yourself… or let me go

⸻

[Final Chorus – half-tempo emotional version, then repeat full power]
Save yourself before I break
You can’t be helped if you won’t face
The truth that’s screaming in your soul
This love can’t make a broken whole

[Repeat full power]
Save yourself before I break
This time it’s real, this time I’ll walk away
You need help and I hope you do
But I can’t die…
Just to save you
