What You Gave Me

════════════ 🎵 LYRICS 🎵 ════════════ [Verse 1] For a long time my mirror was my best friend Always smiling, crying, depressed when I was I pushed away the hands that reached for me Convinced that I was better off alone I liked to confuse kindness with weakness Always sinking further into the depths [Pre-Chorus] Forgive me, I realized too late That you truly loved me While I kept hurting myself [Chorus] You didn't save me from the darkness You taught me how to walk through it You didn't free me from my demons You showed me I could stop feeding them [Post-Chorus] Why do we always see the truth when there's nothing left? [Verse 2] You never tried to wear my burden Never claimed to have the cure You showed me that being vulnerable Feels right with the right person Now for the first time I stopped blaming Everything, everyone, everywhere [Breakdown] FUCK DEPRESSION! FUCK THE DARKNESS! THIS... IS... MY... REDEMPTION! [Solo] [Bridge] Now I know you stood beside me When I couldn't face myself What's gone is gone What's lost is lost So I'll carry what you gave me And make peace with my scars [Final Chorus] You didn't save me from the darkness You taught me how to walk through it You didn't free me from my demons You showed me I could stop feeding them
