Couldn't stand the city
I had to get away
Drive myself down to the coast
For a couple of days
Love to take you with me
But I'm sure you'd never come
Don't know how you stay alive
Without seeing the sun
Look what you've become
[Chorus]
Save yourself, just yourself
Don't think about no-one else
Save yourself, just yourself
I can't help you
Let them go, let them go
You're gonna get through alone
Save yourself, just yourself
Please.
Said he was a junkie
Everybody got involved
'Cos they're only trying to help
You would not be told
Wake up every morning
I try to show you what is good
But on the sly you'd go and try
Anything you could
How's that for gratitude?
[Chorus to fade]
I had to get away

Save yourself, just yourself
Don't think about no-one else
Save yourself, just yourself
I can't help you
Let them go, let them go
You're gonna get through alone
Save yourself, just yourself
