Save Yourself Lyrics
I walked every town
I need you to know there's nothing left to sell me
I'm broke
I just want these holes
When I try to run for no reason
Or so I'm told
Don't you think I know
You're only trying to save yourself
Ancient in one long, incidental month
You had a bad day
I want home
You still make me smile
As much as I am reeling
It has been a while
Please don't make me show I'm not your gal
Don't you think I know
You're only trying to save yourself
Just like everyone else
Try and make me feel
Like I'm your number one, every other one
Well, shit, get real
Know you're balding still
You're older than you feel
Think a little harder, a little modest and humble be
I won't wait around
Don't you think I know
You're only trying to save yourself
Just like everyone else
I need you to know there's nothing left to sell me
I'm broke
I just want these holes
When I try to run for no reason
Or so I'm told
You're only trying to save yourself
You had a bad day
I want home
As much as I am reeling
It has been a while
Please don't make me show I'm not your gal
You're only trying to save yourself
Just like everyone else
Like I'm your number one, every other one
Well, shit, get real
You're older than you feel
Think a little harder, a little modest and humble be
I won't wait around
You're only trying to save yourself
Just like everyone else

This is such a beautiful song. Wow. Makes me feel the way I feel when I listen to Johnny Cash's American Album IV…His version of "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" came to mind first.
I was talking specifically about the feel of the song on my first listen. I hadn't read the lyrics when I posted the comment (which is unusual for me), but I still stand by what I said. I think the truth IS beautiful. It may not always be pretty, but there it is anyway…The truth. And she does it in an unpretentious way. What about the rest of the lyrics? The simple fact that she's not afraid to put her cards on the table and tell someone she has feelings for that she...

The simple fact that she's not afraid to put her cards on the table and tell someone she has feelings for that she knows she's basically being/has been used by them takes a lot of guts in my opinion. Her vulnerability and honesty here are what make the song beautiful to ME. It's not always about the lyrics either…it's the emotion she conveys between the lines.
Beautiful? "Know you're balding still, you're older than you feel." Yeah. that's what I call beautiful. LOL

This song really helped me during a bad roommate situation.
