You Save Me From Myself

It is uncanny

How you can see right inside of me

One word left hanging

Tells you all you need to know for free

 

And what you see is not always good and not always kind 

I never said I'd be everything you hoped you would find

 

You make me tell you

In words the things you already know

How my heart wanders

Away from light towards dark shadows

 

And what you see is not always good and not always kind 

I never said I'd be everything you hoped you would find

 

But you save me from myself

I hate to make you be so stern

But I'm a walking disaster

 

Oh you save me from myself

I hear you slipping out the door

As I lie crying on the floor

And hoping you’ll be home once more

 

Don't make me spell it out

I hate that flames like this one still burn 

Help me to put it out 

Before the point hits of no return

 

Oh what you see is not always good and not always kind 

I never said I'd be everything you hoped you would find

 

But you save me from myself

I hate to make you be so stern

But I'm a walking disaster

 

Oh you save me from myself

I hear you slipping out the door

As I lie crying on the floor

And hoping you’ll be home once more
