In the mornings I was anxious It's better just to stay in bed Didn't want to fail myself again Running through all the options And the endings Were rolling out in front of me But I couldn't choose a thread to begin And I could not love 'Cause I could not love myself Never good enough, no That was all I'd tell myself And I was not well But I could not help myself I was giving up on living In the morning You were leaving Travelling south again And you said you were not unprepared And all the dead ends And disappointments Were fading from your memory Ready for that lonely life to end And you gave me love When I could not love myself And you made me turn From the way I saw myself And you're patient, love And you help me help myself And you save me And you save me Yeah you save me
