lyrics

You think I can save you
I don't want to
I've seen how my sisters do
Rescue every man

I'm saving myself first
I've been through enough hurt
I know what my love is worth
I have a plan

I have a plan

When you're hurting you call my name
I wish I could do the same
This ain't no easy game
I take care of me

I'm not trying to run away
I need time to think and pray
If you're gonna stay
I got to stay free

Why do you think
I gotta save your life
To prove my heart

Why do you wonder
Why I wanna spend
Some time apart

Why do you press me
To solve your problems
I got my own

I like you
But I need some time
Some time alone

Some time alone

Why do you think
I gotta save your life
To prove my heart

Why do you wonder
Why I wanna spend
Some time apart

Why do you press me
To solve your problems
When I got my own

I like you
But I need some time
Some time alone

Some time alone

Time alone
Alone

Alone
Alone

Why do you think
I gotta save your life
To prove my heart

Why do you wonder
Why I wanna spend
Some time apart

Why do you press me
To solve your problems
I got my own

I like you
But I need some time
Some time alone

Some time alone

Why do you think
I gotta save your life
To prove my heart

Why do you wonder
Why I wanna spend
Some time apart

Why do you press me
To solve your problems
I got my own

I like you
But I need some time
Some time alone

Some time
Some time alone

Some time alone
