Save Yourself Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I want every town, I need you to know
There's nothing left to sell me, I'm broke
I just want these holes for when I try to run
For no reason, or so I'm told

[Chorus]
Don't you think I know you're only trying to save yourself
Don't you think I know you're only trying to save yourself
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 2]
Don't you think I know you're only trying to save yourself
Don't you think I know you're only trying to save yourself
Just like everyone else
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

[Verse 3]
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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
