Joey Cape & Tony Sly Not Your Savior lyrics

Unlucky seventeen
Already handed plans for the future
Glamor obsessed, shown how to dress
And told how to think

And I don't have a job but I can show you how to be a slob
So many days, wasted and glazed, sometimes I laugh out loud
As I think about you asking me please can you help
Can't help myself

I'm not your savior, I'm not who you want me to be
A cowardly mistake I've made so many times before
Refusing to break, cut my losses ties them with you
Like a good boy I'll pretend and promise not to do it again


Do you remember when life was so simple and permanent
Everyone's changed, everyone's cool
Everyone sucks but I can't seem to complain
Exciting and new is just not there, you're getting scared

I'm not your savior, never thought I was anyway
I'm a boy with empty promises that backs out late
Never said, "I'd change", taking back the words that we spoke
Like a fuel tank running dry, you'll believe it when I choke
