Save Myself - Ashe

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I gave a song It goes on and on Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills And all the ones that love me they just left me on the shelf My farewell So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself I gave you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 And only scars remain Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills And all the ones that love me they just left me on the shelf My farewell So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself But if don't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someone else I've got to save myself Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills And all the ones that love me they just left me on the shelf My farewell So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself And before I blame someone else, I've got to save myself And before I love someone else, I've got to love myself

I'm sorry you don't win the war Forget what I was fighting for I'm sorry you don't get the score 'Cause I'm about to go, I'm about to go When I met you I thought that they would Write stories about the love we found But you let me down Save me from myself I don't really want to wonder If I'm really going under Save me from myself You let me down You let me down, yeah I'm sorry you don't win the war Forget what I was fighting for I'm sorry you don't get the score 'Cause I'm about to go, I'm about to go When I met you I thought that they would Write stories about the love we found But you let me down Save me from myself I don't really want to wonder If I'm really going under Save me from myself

It's not so easy lovin' me It gets so complicated All the things you gotta be Everything's changin' But you're the truth I'm amazed by all your patience Everything I put you through And when I'm about to fall Somehow you're always waiting With your open arms to catch me You're gonna save me from myself From myself, yes You're gonna save me from myself Oh, yeah My love is tainted by your touch Well, some guys have shown me aces But you got that royal flush I know it's crazy everyday Well, tomorrow may be shaky But you never turn away Don't ask me why I'm crying 'Cause when I start to crumble You know how to keep me smiling You always save me from myself From myself, myself You're gonna save me from myself I know it's hard, it's hard But you've broken all my walls You've been my strength, so strong And don't ask me why I love you It's obvious your tenderness is what I need to make me A better woman to myself To myself, myself You're gonna save me from my, myself

I'm not tryna break the silence Baby, I'm just tryin' to fix it I been tryin' to show you the difference You can slam the door, tell me that I'm like my mother You don't need to tell me you're sorry We don't need to talk 'til you're ready It takes a lot more than a rose More than a kiss, more than a hug 'Cause love is not enough But at least we've got that much Baby, lay your head down You can sleep at my house Whoa-oh, 'cause love is not enough But at least I've got your touch The middle of a long night We don't need it all right now, no I'm not fragile as you think Seems like you've been walkin' on eggshells Didn't put them there when we first fell in love When early days have faded, everything gets complicated You said you want a girl with a future But everybody comes with a price It takes a lot more than a ring More than a vow, more than a promise Love is not enough But at least we've got that much Baby, lay your head down You can sleep at my house Whoa-oh, 'cause love is not enough But at least I've got your touch The middle of a long night We don't need it all right now, no Love is not enough But it's all we're dreamin', oh You can lay your head down You can sleep at my house Whoa-oh, 'cause love is not enough But at least I've got your touch The middle of a long night We don't need it all right now, no We can take our sweet time Everything will be just fine

You can say that I can stay But, no, you can't have it your way I'm saying, bye, bye, bye to those days But I would say that we should wait Just to see how long it'd take Then we'd lie, lie, lie to each other, babe Been a serial monogamist, and I'm serious that I don't miss The arguments or checking in at midnight So tell me if it's okay now To take off your clothes but by Morning, I won't try to hold you (hold you) Promise I won't call you later, try to get to know you (know you) Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, hold you (hold you) Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, don't wanna hold you (hold you) Hold you up, hold you down, hold you to coming back around Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Used to live inside my head, felt so guilty in your bed For a while, while, while it was complicated Please, don't feel bad when I'm gone You can call me what you want But don't dial, dial, dial my numbеr, baby Been a serial monogamist, and I'm serious that I don't miss The argumеnts or checking in at midnight So tell me if it's okay now To take off your clothes but by Morning, I won't try to hold you (hold you) Promise I won't call you later, try to get to know you (know you) Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, hold you (hold you) Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, don't wanna hold you (hold you) Hold you up, hold you down, hold you to coming back around Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

In the champagne drought, I lost my mind So I started smoking cigarettes with boxed wine When I made a sound, my neighbors cried Said all my songs sound just like drunken lullabies Said I couldn't change, so I broke the mold And I put my dreams in bottles knowing they would float To a better place where I could be myself Don't wanna be another blonde doll on the shelf Every day all day Every day all day Ah-a, ah-a-ah-a I hear choirs in my head They won't stop until I'm dead Ah-a, every day all day Ah-a-ah-a, every day all day I hear choirs in my head, in my head And I like to think they're all my friends When I fall apart they put me back together again It's like they see and understand Every day, all day, every day when People show their teeth, don't bite your tongue Baby, you're a diamond shining with no lights on If it gives you peace, keep raising hell Every day all day Every day all day Ah-a, ah-a-ah-a I hear choirs in my head They won't stop until I'm dead Ah-a, every day all day Ah-a-ah-a, every day all day I hear choirs in my head, in my head Ah-a, ah-a-ah-a I hear choirs in my head They won't stop until I'm dead Ah-a, every day all day Ah-a-ah-a, every day all day I hear choirs in my head, in my head I finally got what I wanted Yeah, I think that I found the way I finally got what I needed With the voices I have in my brain Ah-a, ah-a-ah-a I hear choirs in my head They won't stop until I'm dead Ah-a, every day all day Ah-a-ah-a, every day all day I hear choirs in my head, in my head Ah-a, every day all day Ah-a-ah-a, every day all day I hear choirs in my head They won't stop until I'm dead Ah-a, every day all day Ah-a-ah-a, every day all day I hear choirs in my head, in my head
