Below, you will find the lyrics for Save Myself by Ed Sheeran.
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?
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
Chorus 1
Life can get you down
So I just numb the way it feels
Chorus 1
I drown it with a drink
And out of date prescription pills
Chorus 1
And all the ones that love me
They just left me on the shelf
So before I save someone else
Verse 1
I gave you all my energy
And I took away your pain
Verse 1
Because human beings are destined to radiate or drain
What line do we stand upon?
Because from here looks the same
Verse 1
And only scars remain
Chorus 2
Life can get you down
So I just numb the way it feels
Chorus 2
I drown it with a drink
And out of date prescription pills
Chorus 2
And all the ones that love me
They just left me on the shelf
So before I save someone else
Bridge
To where I'm rescuing a stranger
Just because they needed saving just like that
Between the devil and the danger
But I guess it's just my nature
'Cause I'm not like my mum
Bridge
'Cause she'd just smile
And I'm complaining in a song
So before I save someone else
Chorus 3
Life can get you down
So I just numb the way it feels
Chorus 3
I drown it with a drink
And out of date prescription pills
Chorus 3
And all the ones that love me
They just left me on the shelf
So before I save someone else
Outro
I've got to save myself
And before I blame someone else
And before I love someone else
I've got to love myself
