Aim For The Neck - Anchor Lyrics

I see the hope inside your eyes
A light I know I can't sustain
Who would've known that I'll become
The one who caused you this much pain
I know you depend on me
But I know I'll let you down
I'd rather watch you hate me
Than pull you to the ground
You call my name, your voice is pain
But I can't answer, I can't stay
The more I hold you, the more I break
And I'll destroy you if I stay
You think I'm strong, but I'm barely whole
Just a ticking clock with a heavy soul
Your trust in me is a fragile thread
One pull too tight, and it'll snap instead
Holding on to me will never be enough
I have to leave, though it tears me down
You'll learn to swim. I'll learn to drown
I'm not the savior you want me to be
I'll bear this guilt, I'll face the shame
To spare you from my endless blame
Every promise I made has turned to ash
Every dream we built has come to crash
Tears fall heavy, my chest caves in
But losing you is the way I win
And though I'm gone, I hope you'll see
That It's for you, and not for me
I'll carry the guilt, I'll bear the cost
So you can find the strength I've lost
Holding on to me will never be enough
I have to leave, though it tears me down
You'll learn to swim. I'll learn to drown
I'm not the savior you want me to be
I'll bear this guilt, I'll face the shame
To spare you from my endless blame
I'll be a villain if it saves your soul
I'll go away if it makes you whole
For you to shine where I can't reach
I need to leave your eyes for you to see
