Abby Powledge
Saved Ourselves
I'm terrified to spend my life
Chasing that same goddamn high
I felt when I had wasted time with you
And maybe I do magnify
The hopefulness pent up inside
I know that there are better things to do
Than to pine about the guy you were
To dream about that old future
I'd held so closely to my heart before
'Cause I know we would've crashed and burned and drained out all the joy
You would've hated doing distance, I would've compromisеd my voice
I would've had to justify you to my mom 'til I realizеd
That it ain't worth it if I valued independence more than trying
So, I wish you well
I guess we saved ourselves
I'm terrified to lose my mind
Seeking, pacing, wondering why
I'd held off every wandering eye for you
And maybe I'm not dignified
Enough to set aside my pride
I know that I was way too kind, I do
But the thought of it does linger still
If you had packed bags for Nashville
Uprooted your whole life against your will
'Cause I know we would've crashed and burned and drained out all the joy
You would've hated doing distance, I would've compromised my voice
I would've had to justify you to my mom 'til I realized
That it ain't worth it if I valued independence more than trying
So, I wish you well
I guess we saved ourselves
