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 ho-o-onestly
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
Its goes o-o-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I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills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
My farewell
So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself
[Verse]
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 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I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills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
My farewell
So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself
[bridge]
but if I don't, hen 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I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills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
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
