Save Yourself (original song)

This video would be more appropriately titled "pianogirl8 attempts to play guitar" :) Don't make fun of me please, I don't really play guitar and this one is a terrible instrument anyway, my dad found it at a garage sale like a decade ago, it's like a learners guitar sized for a kid or something.

Anyway I had this up on my channel for a short period of time in the summer, then at some point I decided I didn't like it and took it down. I just changed my mind again though, because it's one of my few original songs, so I wanted to get it out there. Maybe I'll make a better recording if I can get a friend of mine to play guitar for me, you can probably tell it's really not my thing!

I wish I had recording equipment, there are vocal harmonies and things I want to add that I can't do with a raw recording like this. Ah well.

ONE THING LEADS TO ANOTHER

The first time I saw you
I was mesmerized by your light
your hands illuminated the darkness
in the forest that night

So we meet again
it certainly has been a while
since you spoke to me your name
and I memorized your smile

I can't do this
you've got to love yourself
to defeat your demons
it can't be anybody else...

So we part again
knowing more than just our names
You know I wish you well,
I'm not one for placing blame

I know behind those walls
is someone very real
I just hope you find a better way
of helping yourself heal

I can't do this,
you've got to save yourself
Keep your head above water
leave the bottle on the shelf...
(repeat 1x)
