Save Yourself

(Karianne Gabaldon)

A song about a friend trying to save a friend from an eating disorder. The friend has also suffered from bulimia nervosa, so she knows exactly what’s going on. But the friend is very concerned and is trying to help.

(Verse 1) 
 
How ‘bout that sweet face, the decades sure look good on you, 
Eating disorder, don’t worry, I have been there too. 
Binging and purging consumed my whole life now it consumes yours, 
I am sorry to see your boat floating without any oars. 
 
When I was younger, all I wanted to be thin, 
Then I found a new thing that embraced me from within. 
It’s called bulimia, went through it for years, still contemplate, 
But nobody knows it happened because I’ve shut that gate. 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Yourself; 
You’re jeopardizing your own sick health, 
Never known you could end up with this disease, 
I need you to just please stop from your own hell. 
Yourself; 
I told you that you just need help, 
Do I have to yell? 
Why did you even start, yes I know it is hard, but please, why, pray tell? 
Save yourself. 
 
(Verse 2) 
 
Well maybe I’m blind, but you’re just way too kind for this, babe, 
I know it’s hard to get rid of this disease but trust me I’m on your page. 
I’m struggling how to tell you what to do with your life ‘cause I can’t, 
It’s your life, you choose how to live, but you’re running out of sand. 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Yourself; 
You’re jeopardizing your own sick health, 
Never known you could end up with this disease, 
I need you to just please stop from your own hell. 
Yourself; 
I told you that you just need help, 
Do I have to yell? 
Why did you even start, yes I know it is hard, but please, why, pray tell? 
Save yourself.
