Only a Man

You said the sirens sounded honest Like they knew where to begin

I kept a suitcase full of silence And a match beneath my

skin There’s a crack in every promise There’s a cost in every

cure You were looking for an answer I was looking for the

door And all the words we buried Keep crawling from the grave

You reached for something holy But no one gets saved

Don’t call me your rescue

Don’t call me your way out

I’m just another warning

With a heart too loud

You wanted a reason I wanted the truth But every road was

burning

When it led back to you So run if you have to

Break if you can I was never your savior

I was only a man

You drew a line across the pavement Like a border in the

rain I crossed it just to prove it Then crawled back through

the pain Every fight became a mirror Every scar became a sign

You were begging for tomorrow I was wasting borrowed time

And all the words we buried Keep crawling from the grave

You reached for something holy But no one gets saved

Don’t call me your rescue Don’t call me your way out

I’m just another warning With a heart too loud

You wanted a reason I wanted the truth But every road was

burning

When it led back to you So run if you have to

Break if you can I was never your savior I was only

a man

If love is a fire Then what did it prove?

It lit up the room And burned through the roof If guilt

is an ocean Then let it come in I learned how to

drown But not how to swim

Don’t call me your rescue Don’t call me your way out I’m

just another warning With a heart too loud You wanted a reason

I wanted the truth But every road was burning

When it led back to you So run if you have to

Break if you can I was never your savior

I was only a man

I was never your savior

I was only a man
