[Verse]

I'm not a white knight, or am I?

If I stay up wondering

If I said the right things

And I don’t have a savior complex

Or do I?

If I want you to be alright

[Pre-Chorus]

Is there a line that I tread

Between the things I leave unsaid

The words that rot inside my head

To become weapons of mass destruction

[Chorus]

Maybe I have a savior complex

But the one I need to save

Is right here in this bed

Pull the covers up and picture

My death when I was ten

And even then I knew

It wasn't “if” but “when”

Escaped my fate once

Can I do it again?

[Verse]

I'm not a white knight, or am I?

If I spend my whole life

Searching for my king

And I don’t have a savior complex

Or do I?

If I want you to be alright

[Chorus]

It's been many years

Since the hornets crawled in my ears

But I remember it all so clear

One sting is all it should've taken

But somehow I lived to see the day

[Bridge]

And what a waste that was

With a life like mine

What a waste that was

Of sacrifice

[Outro]

I'm nothing to anyone

And they'll leave me one by one
