Save Myself

[Verse 1] 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, honestly? 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a song It goes on and on [Chorus] Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels I drown it with a drink and out-of-date prescription pills And all the ones that love me, they just left me on the shelf No farewell So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself [Verse 2] I gave you all my energy and I took away your pain 'Cause human beings are destined to radiate or drain What line do we stand upon? 'Cause from here, it looks the same And only scars remain [Chorus] Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels I drown it with a drink and out-of-date prescription pills And all the ones that love me, they just left me on the shelf No farewell So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself [Bridge] But if I 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I've got to save myself [Chorus] Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels I drown it with a drink and out-of-date prescription pills And all the ones that love me, they just left me on the shelf No farewell So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself [Outro] And before I blame someone else, I've got to save myself And before I love someone else, I've got to love myself
