Save Yourself
Colette Lush Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I, didn't want to burn
There goes that bridge
I, had to watch it burn
Wish you had done what you said you would
But I, sleep easy knowing that I, did all that I could
You didn't appreciate me
The only one there you didn't appreciate me
I couldnt save you
From yourself
This moment I hate you
I still don't want no one else
I couldn't save you
I couldn't save you
Cause you couldnt save yourself
I don't stop myself
When I'm thinking about you
You put me through hell
Just to keep me thinking about you
My vision's getting blurry but I still want to see you
Why did you make me promise that I would never leave you
You didn't appreciate me
The only one there
You didn't appreciate me
No matter how much I care
I couldnt save you from yourself
There's moments I hate you
I still don't want no one else
I couldn't save you
I couldn't save you
Cause you couldn't save yourself
The song "Save Yourself" by Colette Lush is a heart-wrenching ballad of a failed relationship that was doomed from the beginning. The lyrics speak of a once strong relationship that has crumbled into pieces, with one partner unable to appreciate the love and care that the other had for them. The line "You were a bridge, I didn't want to burn. There goes that bridge, I had to watch it burn" is symbolic of the trust and connection they once had. But due to the issues of one partner, they had to let go of something they cherished dearly. The artist wishes the other person had kept their promise of doing something good for themselves, but they couldn't follow through. The singer couldn't save their partner from their destructive ways, and they ultimately ended up hurting each other.
The song shows a powerful message of loving someone who doesn't love themselves, and how difficult it is to save someone from their own inner demons. The singer is plagued by thoughts of their former lover and regrets leaving them, despite the fact that their partner did not appreciate their love for them. The chorus repeats the line "I couldn't save you, cause you couldn't save yourself," emphasizing the importance of self-love and the inability of another person to fix one's problems. The lyrics beautifully express the pain and the essence of the relationship that had no way out.

[Verse 1]
You were a bridge, I didn't wanna burn that
There goes that bridge, I had to watch it burn
Wish you were done which you said were, ooh
But I sleep easy knowing that I did all that I could
[Chorus]
You didn’t appreciate me
The only one there
You didn't appreciate me
No matter how much I care
I couldn't save you from yourself
There’s moments I hate you
I still don't want no one else
I couldn't save you, oh no
I couldn't save you
'Cause you couldn't save yourself, mm
[Verse 2]
I don't stop myself when I'm thinking about you
You put me through hell just to keep me thinking ’bout you
My visions getting blurry but I still want to see you
Why did you make promise that I would never leave you?
[Chorus]
You didn’t appreciate me
The only one there
You didn't appreciate me
No matter how much I care
I couldn’t save you from yourself
