Save Yourself

Lee Ly

I see your hands
Shaking in your jacket sleeves
Saying you're fine
But your eyes don't believe
You keep laughing
Like that covers the cracks
Walking in circles
Till the sky pushes back

Save yourself
Save yourself
Save yourself
No one else can pull you from this hell
I can stand here
I can scream and yell
But you gotta reach
You gotta reach
And save yourself

You write lists
On the back of receipts
Little promises
You never quite keep
You call me up
Just to fill up the noise
Hanging on every
Half-hearted choice

Save yourself
Save yourself
Save yourself
I can't wear your damage like a shell
I can love you
I can wish you well
But you gotta bleed
You gotta bleed
And save yourself

I'll wait at the edge
Of the road you take
But I won't drag you
For your own sake
If you step toward the light
I'll run the rest of the way (hey!)

Save yourself
Save yourself
Save yourself
Say it softly
Turn it into a prayer
Save yourself
Save yourself
Save yourself
I can hold you
But the work's in there
Save yourself
Save yourself
Save yourself
You gotta choose
You gotta choose
To save yourself
