Artist: The Waifs Album: A Brief History (2004) Title: Shelter Me
Lyrics Shelter MeWell I've decided no one's knowing Anything 'bout where I'm going I can't even talk to my friends anymore I'm not blaming anyone for the mess I've gotten in I'm only frightened by the things that I've done
Keep me safe from myself I can't do it without your help Your love's the finest thing that I've ever known I want to come home
Thinking back when I was young You kept me safe from everything Set me straight when I went wrong Raised me to respect myself I can offer no excuse for this senseless self abuse All the pain that I've caused you to feel When I hurt myself, it hurts you more And that's what hurts me most of all I shouldn't go on hurting any more
Keep me safe from myself I can't do it without your help Your love's the finest thing that I've ever known I want to come home I want to come home I want to come home I want to come home I want to come home
Keep me safe from myself I can't do it without your help Your love's the finest thing that I've ever known
Take me now, a shelter be Before there's nothing left of me |
