Save Some Loving
I just can't really imagine you
Ever, truly enjoying yourself
Even when the sun shines slow on the avenue
You are unable to just take it all in
Without wanting to change something
Without wanting to change something
You've got a big task ahead of you
Not even that mountain will solve
The next small rock will already be shredding you
Another great cloud shrouding you in
Come on snap out of the funk you're in
Snap out of the funk you're in
Save some of your loving for loving your self
Leave more of the weight of the world for others to bear
Save some of your loving for loving yourself
Leave more of the weight of the world for others to bear
I feel it in my bones when we talk about love
It's not in you to ever settle down
You bear your soul to any stranger passing by
But never find time to cherish your own
(your own, your own your own)
Selfless is a compliment that is hardly pretention in you
Humility embodies your every move
But the price of that charity is written in lines on your face
Circum choose out of your days
Listen to what I've come to say
Save some of your loving for loving your self
Leave more of the weight of the world for others to bear
Save some of your loving for loving yourself
Leave more of the pain of the world for others to bear
