[Verse 1]
It's not so easy lovin' me
It gets so complicated
All the things you gotta be
Everything's changin'
But you're the truth
I'm amazed by all your patience
Everything I put you through
[Chorus 1]
And when I'm about to fall
Somehow you're always waiting
With your open arms to catch me
You're gonna save me from myself
From myself, yes
You're gonna save me from myself
Oh, yeah
[Verse 2]
My love is tainted by your touch
Well, some guys have shown me aces
But you got that royal flush
I know it's crazy everyday
Well, tomorrow may be shaky
But you never turn away
[Chorus 2]
Don't ask me why I'm cryin'
Cause when I start to crumble
You know how to keep me smilin'
You always save me from myself
From myself, myself
You're gonna save me from myself
[Bridge]
I know it's hard, it's hard
But you've broken all my walls
You've been my strength, so strong
[Chorus 3]
And don't ask me why I love you
It's obvious your tenderness is what I need to make me
A better woman to myself
To myself, myself
You're gonna save me from my, myself
It's not so easy lovin' me
It gets so complicated
All the things you gotta be
Everything's changin'
But you're the truth
I'm amazed by all your patience
Everything I put you through
[Chorus 1]
And when I'm about to fall
Somehow you're always waiting
With your open arms to catch me
You're gonna save me from myself
From myself, yes
You're gonna save me from myself
Oh, yeah
[Verse 2]
My love is tainted by your touch
Well, some guys have shown me aces
But you got that royal flush
I know it's crazy everyday
Well, tomorrow may be shaky
But you never turn away
[Chorus 2]
Don't ask me why I'm cryin'
Cause when I start to crumble
You know how to keep me smilin'
You always save me from myself
From myself, myself
You're gonna save me from myself
[Bridge]
I know it's hard, it's hard
But you've broken all my walls
You've been my strength, so strong
[Chorus 3]
And don't ask me why I love you
It's obvious your tenderness is what I need to make me
A better woman to myself
To myself, myself
You're gonna save me from my, myself
