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
Its 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and out of date prescription pills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and out of date prescription pills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and out of date prescription pills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
