Safe

from Take Care by Josie Newton

lyrics

Your words planted in my mind
On repeat, grew frustration over every line
Handled with such carelessness
Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you wanted?

If I'm out of sight, then I'm out of mind
And you can bide your time
To live your life
Without a thought for mine
But ask yourself why
You can't look me in the eye
And tell me this is fine

Can't press, ctrl + alt + delete
And find what you seek
In the mess you've made
I only ever wanted to
Can't press, ctrl + alt + delete
And leave in defeat
Don't let it end this way
I only ever wanted to feel safe
I only ever wanted to feel safe

We are not immune
But you have the attitude
That somehow you're bulletproof
I wish that I could be so flippant
Had the choice of indifference
But I've had to contemplate
Every move, so forgive me for
Feeling afraid
You wouldn't notice if I had to withdraw
'Coz it mirrors elements just like before
My head can't compute
How you can view
The world only according to you
You'd rather paint me as your villain
Than face your own reflection
Is your happiness more valuable?
Am I just expendable?
Am I just expendable to you?

Given the chance
Would you take those words back?

Can't press, ctrl + alt + delete
And find what you seek
In the mess you made
I only ever wanted to
Can't press, ctrl + alt + delete
And leave in defeat
Don't let it end this way
I only ever wanted to feel safe
I only ever wanted to feel safe

I only ever wanted to feel
I only ever wanted to feel safe
