I knew you'd say sorry when you sobered up

Doesn't mean it didn't happen just cause you were drunk

You're kicking gravel with your shoes, and you keep staring at the ground

Like you're looking for the words down there to dig you out

But you'll get braver in a second and look up straight in my eyes

You'll find both hurt and forgiveness in there, cutting like a knife

'Cause I know you know better, and I know you love me

But choosing love ain't love, unless the choosing is free

Here I go saving the day again

And I know that's what they call enabling

My hero complex is shaking

'Cause I can't keep waiting for you to start saving yourself

You've got a ghost in your past that looks a lot like your dad

And he's an arrow to the target only you can understand

You got more than your temper and your pocket watch from him

But the difference is that you know how to let the sun back in

I keep trying to be patient, 'cause I believe your heart is good

I've seen it with my eyes, wouldn't change it if I could

That doesn't mean it doesn't hurt when you walk right over me

Choosing love ain't love, unless the choosing is free

Here I go saving the day again

And I know that's what they call enabling

My hero complex is shaking

'Cause I can't keep waiting for you to start saving yourself

Oh-oh-oh

You say it's the last time it'll happen

But I break each time I hear that again

And I hate that I'm keep enabling

Here I go saving the day again

And I know that's what they call enabling

My hero complex is shaking

'Cause I can't keep waiting for you to start saving yourself

I just wanna help

I love like you hell

But I can't keep waiting, I've gotta start saving myself
