When I get tired of myself, I hope you're there to persuade me. To put the bottle back up on the shelf, And stop believing what my head keeps saying. I get so good at digging holes, Then swear the ground gave way. I make a mess and walk around it, Like it happened by mistake. Yeah, I know it's me. I know it's me. Save me from myself. I don't need anybody else, To hurt me like I do. Nobody gets me through, Like you do. Save me from myself. Before I make my heaven hell, I swear I'm trying to get well. But I need you, To talk me down from myself. Talk me down now. Talk me down. I can turn a quiet night, Into a trial in my mind. Pick apart a simple smile, Till the good starts feeling like a lie. I keep a matchbook in my chest, Then act surprised when it gets warm. I swear I'm only taking cover, While I'm standing in the storm. Ain't that something? Still acting like I don't know. Save me from myself. I don't need anybody else, To hurt me like I do. Nobody gets me through, Like you do. Save me from myself. Before I make my heaven hell. I swear I'm trying to get well, But I need you. To talk me down from myself Talk me down, talk me down. I don't wanna be the reason, Every good thing has to leave. I don't wanna keep on running, From the hand that's reaching me. I don't wanna dress it up, Like I'm just hard to understand. Sometimes I am the loaded gun, And sometimes I'm my own right hand.
