Save Myself

I gave all my oxygen to people that could breathe

I gave away my money and now we don't even speak

I drove miles and miles,

but would you do the same for me?

Oh, ho---nestly?

Offered off my shoulder just for you to cry upon

Gave you constant shelter and a bed to keep you warm

They gave me the heartache

and in return I gave a song

It goes on and on

Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels

I drown it with a drink and out

of date prescription pills

And all the ones that love me

they just left me on the shelf

My farewell

So before I save someone else,

I've got to save myself

I gave you all my energy and I took away your pain

'Cause human beings are destined to radiate or dream

What line do we stand upon

'cause from here looks the same?

And only scars remain

Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels

I drown it with a drink and out

of date prescription pills

And all the ones that love me

they just left me on the shelf

My farewell

So before I save someone else,

I've got to save my-self

But if don't

Then I'll go back

To where I'm rescuing a stranger

Just because they needed saving just like that

Oh, I'm here again

Between the devil and the danger

But I guess it's just my nature

My dad was wrong

'Cause I'm not like my mum

'Cause she'd just smile

and I'm complaining in a song

But it helps

So before I save someone else

I've got to save my-self

Life can get you down

so I just numb the way it feels

I drown it with a drink and out

of date prescription pills

And all the ones that love me

they just left me on the shelf

My farewell

So before I save someone else,

I've got to save my-self

And before I blame someone else,

I've got to save my-self

And before I love someone else,

I've got to love myself
