Shelter Me Songtext
von The Waifs

I′ve decided no one's knowing
Anything about where I′m going
I can't even talk to my friends anymore
Not blaming anyone for the mess I've gotten in
I′m only frightened by the things that I′ve done

Keep me safe from myself
I can't do it without your help
Your love′s the finest thing
I've ever known
I want to come home

Thinking back when I was young
And you kept me safe from everything
Set me straight when I went wrong
Raised me to respect myself


I can offer no excuse for this senseless self abuse
And all the pain that I′ve caused you to feel
When I hurt myself it hurts you more
And that's what hurts me most of all
We shouldn′t go on hurting anymore

Keep me safe from myself
I can't do it without your help
Your love's the finest thing
That I′ve ever known
I want to come home

I want to come home
I want to come home
I want to come home
I want to come home

Keep me safe from myself
I can′t do it without your help
Your love's the finest thing
I′ve ever known
Take me now and shelter me
Before there's nothing left of me
