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

the 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I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills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I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills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or drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills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,

I've got to love myself
