Enabling Songtext
von Tenille Townes

I knew you′d say you're sorry when you sobered up
Doesn′t mean it didn't happen just 'cause you were drunk
You′re kicking gravel with your shoes, you keep staring at the ground
Like you′re lookin' for the words down there to dig you out

But you′ll get braver in a second, look straight in my eyes
Find both hurt and forgiveness in there cutting like a knife
'Cause I know that you know better, and I know you love me
But choosin′ love ain't love, unless the choosin′ is free

Here I go savin' the day again
And I know that's what they call enabling
My hero complex is shaking
′Cause I can′t keep waitin' for you to start savin′ yourself

You got a ghost in your past that looks a lot like your dad
And he's an arrow to the target only you can understand
You got more than your temper and your pocket watch from him
But the difference is that you know how to let the sun back in


I keep tryin′ to be patient 'cause I know your heart is good
I′ve seen it with my own eyes, wouldn't change it if I could
It doesn't mean it doesn′t hurt when you walk right over me
Choosin′ love ain't love, unless the choosin′ is free

Here I go savin' the day again
And I know that′s what they call enabling
My hero complex is shakin'
′Cause I can't keep waitin' for you to start savin′ yourself, no

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Oh-oh-oh
You say it′s the last time it'll happen
But I break each time I hear that again
And I hate that I keep enablin′

Here I go savin' the day again
And I know that′s what they call enablin'
My hero complex is shaking
′Cause I can't keep waitin' for you to start savin′ yourself

I just wanna help
I love you like hell
But I can′t keep waitin'
I′ve gotta start savin' myself
