lyrics

I Should Have Saved Myself
(words & music by Nicolette Aubourg © 1992)

The first time that I saw you
your eyes told a story.
Your smile was full of pain
and I wanted you to stay.

I tried to be near you.
After all these years
I thought that you would hear me.
But the candle you burn in my heart
is wax that keeps falling,
and I hold on to the pain
just to be near you.

Slip away, before I give it all again -
slip away.
Slip away, before I give it all again -
slip away.
I hold on to the pain just to be near you.

Is there a reason
you came into my life?
That you should have taught me
humility, there is no doubt.
But I was slow to learn,
slow to learn,
and my heart still burns for you tonight.

Slip away, before I give it all again -
slip away.
Slip away, before I give it all again -
slip away.
I hold on to the pain just to be near you.

I should have saved myself -
saved myself,
before I tried to rescue you
into my life;
saved myself, saved myself -
before I tried to rescue you
into my life.
