I gave all my oxygen to people that could breath
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 up 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 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I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills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
No 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 drain
What line do we stand upon cause from here it 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I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills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
No farewell
So before I save someone else
I’ve got to save myself
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
Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels
Or drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills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
And before I blame someone else
I’ve got to save myself
And before I love someone else
Got to love myself
