I gave all my oxygen to people that could breath
I gave away my money and now we don't even speak
And I drove miles and miles but would you do the same for me?
Oh ho-o-o- onest ly
Offered off my shoulder just for you to cry u pon
Gave you constant shelter and a bed to keep you warm
They gave me the heartache and in return I gave a song
Its goes o-o-o- 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I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills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 fare well
So before I save someone else, I've got to s ave my - self
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 it looks the same?
And only scars r emain
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I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills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 fare well
So before I save someone else, I've got to s ave my - self
But if I don't
Then I'll go back, to where I'm rescuing a stranger
But just be cause they needed saving just like that
Oh I'm here a gain, 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 com plaining in a song, but it helps
So before I save someone else, I've got to s ave 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I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills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 fare well
So before I save someone else, I've got to s ave my - self
And before I blame someone else, I've got to s ave my - self
And before I love someone else, I've got to s ave my - self ...
