Save Myself Lyrics - Ed Sheeran

1 I gave all my oxygen to people that could breathe

2 I gave away my money and now we don't even speak

3 I drove miles and miles, but would you do the same for me? Oh, honestly?

4 Offered off my shoulder just for you to cry upon

5 Gave you constant shelter and a bed to keep you warm

6 They gave me the heartache and in return I gave a song, it goes on and on

7 Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels

8 I drown it with a drink and out-of-date prescription pills

9 And all the ones that love me, they just left me on the shelf, no farewell

10 So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself

11 I gave you all my energy and I took away your pain

12 'Cause human beings are destined to radiate or drain

13 What line do we stand upon, 'cause from here it looks the same

14 And only scars remain

15 Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels

16 I drown it with a drink and out-of-date prescription pills

17 And all the ones that love me, they just left me on the shelf, no farewell

18 So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself

19 But if don't

20 Then I'll go back

21 To where I'm rescuing a stranger

22 Just because they needed saving just like that

23 Oh, I'm here again

24 Between the devil and the danger

25 But I guess it's just my nature

26 My dad was wrong

27 'Cause I'm not like my mum

28 'Cause she'd just smile and I'm complaining in a song

29 But it helps

30 So before I save someone else

31 I've got to save myself

32 Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels

33 I drown it with a drink and out-of-date prescription pills

34 And all the ones that love me, they just left me on the shelf, no farewell

35 So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself

36 And before I blame someone else, I've got to save myself

37 And before I love someone else, I've got to love myself
