Spare Me

Lyrics

Spare Me
Spare Me

I cheered when you came through the gates
an called you relief
when I couldnt feel safe
an I wore your chains
cos they came with a cape
an they made me feel strong
they made me feel brave

but now youre stood over me
asking for my blood to drain

Spare Me
please
Spare Me

I fed you my life when you walked in
an called your poison a beautiful pain
but Im down in the dust again
with my hands shielding my face
an Im begging you not to finish this game

Spare Me

I cheered when you came through the gates
an called you relief
when I couldnt feel safe
an I wore your chains
cos they came with a cape
an they made me feel strong
they made me feel brave

Im not asking you to love me this time
Im asking you to leave

I feel dirty cos I let you hold me
when the world couldnt reach
but I called you holy
when you only came to bleed me
an its about time I put my hands up
saying you dont complete me

I aint gonna pay forever
for the nights that I was needy
an the smoke turned the relief
into something that defeats me

Spare Me

I cheered when you came through the gates
an called you relief
when I couldnt feel safe
an I wore your chains
cos they came with a cape
an they made me feel strong
they made me feel brave

I dont wanna have to fight you
I dont wanna need to be brave

I dont wanna have to stand up
I dont wanna need to be saved

I just need one second
where you lower the flame

I just need one breath
that you dont take away

Spare Me
please
Spare Me

Spare Me
please
Spare Me

Spare Me

I cheered when you came through the gates
an called you relief
when I couldnt feel safe
an I wore your chains
cos they came with a cape
an they made me feel strong
they made me feel brave
