You never asked me to
I didn't think I could
But I put that weight on me
Couldn't carry a cross of wood
Couldn't carry a cross of wood
I tried to pull you up
Turns out I wasn't enough
I always let you down
Who the hell did I think I was?
Oh, Susannah
Don't you go cryin' for me
It's all gettin' better
I couldn't be who you want me to be
Thought I was a savior
But I was a fool on drunken behavior
Why did I believe I could save you, darlin'
Without killin' me?
Without killin' me
We go together so bittersweet
Like misery and company
And I know you can't say no
I don't really wanna let you go
But I've gotta leave so you can be free
That's what you really need
Oh, Susannah
Don't you go cryin' for me
It's all gettin' better
But I couldn't be who you want me to be
Thought I was a savior (savior)
But I was a fool on drunken behavior
Why did I believe I could save you, darlin'
Without killin' me?
Without killin' me
I was the problem
Only tryin' to be the cure
I was the problem
Only tryin' to be the cure
I was the problem
Only tryin' to be the cure
I was the problem, I was the problem
I was the problem, I was the problem
And oh, Susannah
Don't you go cryin' for me
It's all gettin' better
But I couldn't be who you want me to be
Thought I was a savior (savior)
But I was a fool on drunken behavior
Why did I believe I could save you, darlin'
Why did I believe I could save you, darlin'
Without killin' me?
Without killin' me
