Sheeran, Ed - Save Myself Lyrics






I gave all my oxygen to people that could breathe
I gave away my money and now we don't even speak
I drove miles and miles but would you do the same for me
Oh, honestly?

Offered up my shoulder just for you to cry upon
Gave you constant shelter and a bed to keep you warm
They gave me the heartache and in return I gave a song
It goes on and on

Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels
I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills
And all the ones that love me, they just left me on the shelf, no farewell
So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself

I gave you all my energy and I took away your pain
Cause human beings are destined to radiate or drain
What line do we stand upon cause from here it looks the same?
And only scars remain

Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels
I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills
And all the ones that love me, they just left me on the shelf, no farewell
So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself

But if I don't then I'll go back to where I'm rescuing a stranger
Just because they needed saving, just like that
Oh I'm here again, between the devil and the danger
But I guess it's just my nature
My dad was wrong, cause I'm not like my mum
Cause she'd just smile and I'm complaining in a song, but it helps
So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself

Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels
Or drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills
And all the ones that love me, they just left me on the shelf, no farewell
So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself
And before I blame someone else, I've got to save myself
And before I love someone else, I've got to love myself

Sheeran, Ed Save Myself Comments
  1. I.... L....

    Selfcare might be pampering yourself and having a warm bath. But trust me the most heartwrecking and worthwhile is saving yourself. Before saving someone else.

  2. L.... L....

    So true! Even Jesus Christ said the exact same thing when He said, "... why do you look at the tiny spot in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the tiny spot from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the tiny spot from your brother’s eye." — Matthew 7 verse 3 to 5

  18. M.... G....

    It’s incredible how songs start making se ve years later they were released!!

    This song sums up 2019 for me. 2020 will be my year!

  33. S.... J....

  34. D.... ....

    Kinda reminds me of the song in toy story when jess had a flash back of her owner

  35. A.... L....

    I don't know why, but this song reminds me sooo much of Tony Stark after Civil War....#TeamIronMan

  36. J.... S....

    Wonderful song from Ed Sheeran, oh ye... The song is hitting me so hard, damn... What a shame, that I'm hearing this song for the first time. Anyway, I found a new song for me to love and feel. 😍

  37. N.... T....

    I gave away my money and now we don’t even speak .


    me after get to know a girl

  38. F.... A....

    The only hurt is if we know that ed was hurt

  39. A.... R....

    This song describes me. I'm crying 😂

  40. D.... J....

    This song speaks to me in so many ways, and applies at different points to different people that have been in my life, I totally relate.

  41. L.... S....

    there’s “pathetic” in the word “empathetic”.

    *this is not the my interpretation of the song.

    L.... S....

    This is some 14-year-old-girl-who-finds-meaning-in-billie-eilish-songs level dumb

    L.... S....

    raenman i dont mean it as meaning of the song duh 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

  42. o.... m....

    "I drove miles and miles but would you do the same for me"
    No, they wouldn't

    o.... m....

    I drove 3000 miles. 😥

  43. k.... ....

    me rn since i lost almost everyone in my life

  44. J.... B....

    My mix x

  45. R.... ....

    I wish I could save myself

  46. J.... T....

    Why is everything in this me?
    Like really, I'm not like my mum too, cuz she went through the exact same thing, but just smiled, and all I do is complain. I'm crying, let me hug you, please Ed. I hope you're ok now, unlike me

  47. N.... L....

    I've saved so many. But now I'm lonelier than ever. A sad part of life, put into words in this beautiful song.

  48. L.... B....

    This reminds me of why I fell in love with Ed Sheeran in the first place.
    why does this say the artist is tin and not Ed Sheeran?

    L.... B....

    yeah that's weird, someone mucking around with Ed's content ID. Save Myself is Ed's song from his Divide deluxe album

    L.... B....

    @Veronica M I know, I own it.

  49. J.... T....

    ❤❤❤❤❤

  50. S.... V....

    If we all save ourselves first then there will be a lot less people needing saving. And then we can start helping each other and it will stop being so overwhelming

  51. K.... ....

    God Bless to all those brave souls that fought for us in World war I And World war II ;(

  52. I.... D....

    This is like a follow-up to “Murder of One” by Counting Crows

  53. J.... P....

    I'm always been the guy who would do everything i can just to help others
    And the line "I Drove miles and miles but would you do the same for me?"
    Is so godamn relatable

  54. A.... M....

    You will save yourself A.🌟❤

    Everyone sets their own expectations for you. Trust me, I know how it feels. To act like someone you're not, to trap yourself and not live your life for yourself. Everyone thought of me as something I wasn't, and I was too afraid to disappoint. I didn't know what to do. I did everything for everyone, only to get hurt by the truth in the end. YOU ARE WORTH SOMETHING. Self-love is important, no matter how you see it. YOU ARE IMPORTANT. Don't be afraid to love yourself for who you really are.
