You Save Me From Myself

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
