“Save Yourself” serves as a spiteful response to her hit April 2019 single “Moral of the Story” and its success being birthed from her divorce.
This anger Ashe expresses in the song, which weaves its way throughout the lyrics, serves as a “sobering reminder” about the nightmare of the relationship...
[Verse 1]
Goddamn, hindsight 20/20
Poured rain all over my sunny
Someday, this will all be funny
Mm, mm, mm
We were cocaine, playing milk and honey
Dysfunctional, I was a junkie
Someday, this will all be funny
Oh, oh-oh
[Pre-Chorus]
I know everything worked out
The way it's meant to be
But honestly
[Chorus]
If I had the chance (Chance)
I would take it back (Back)
Jumping off your sinking ship
'Stead of going down with it, oh
One day, I'll be good (Good)
Right now, I'm just mad (Mad)
Over being so mature
If only I was never yours, oh
I could've saved myself
Time and lots of money
Coulda saved myself, ah-ooh
I shouldn't blame myself
I kinda saw it coming
Coulda saved myself from you
[Verse 2]
Red flags, tended to ignore them
White flag, never sent it soaring
So hard to forget it in the morning
No, oh-oh
[Pre-Chorus]
I know everything worked out
The way it's meant to be
But honestly
[Chorus]
If I had the chance (Chance)
I would take it back (Back)
Jumping off your sinking ship
'Stead of going down with it, oh
One day, I'll be good (Good)
Right now, I'm just mad (Mad)
Over being so mature
If only I was never yours, oh
I could've saved myself
Time and lots of money
Coulda saved myself, ah-ooh
I shouldn't blame myself
I kinda saw it coming
Coulda saved myself from you
[Post-Chorus]
(Chance)
(Back)
Saved myself (Oh)
[Bridge]
I coulda saved myself
From wasting half my twenties
Saved myself from you
[Chorus]
I could've saved myself
Time and lots of money
Coulda saved myself, ah-ooh
I shouldn't blame myself
I kinda saw it coming
Coulda saved myself from you
