[Intro]
Ah, ah, ah, ah
[Verse 1]
I'm always fuckin' it up, self-saboteur
I know I'm worthy of love, but I hit and run
I hate when I give up
I don't get hurt if I hurt you first
[Pre-Chorus]
But it rains when you hold me, and it burns when we touch
And I drown in your voice, it's every time you hit me up
And I know how you want me, I see it in your eyes
But I just need a little time
[Chorus]
You're bringin' heaven to me (Ah, ah)
Why do I put me through hell? (Ah, ah)
I'm feelin' shackled and free (Ah, ah)
I'm fuckin' scared, can you tell? (Ah, ah)
You're bringin' heaven to me
[Verse 2]
Something's gotta go wrong, self-saboteur ('Teur)
So weak, pretendin' I'm strong, your kiss is the cure
So tell me, what did I do to deserve someone like you?
It feels too good to be true, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
But it rains when you hold me, and it burns when we touch
But I just need a little time
[Chorus]
You're bringin' heaven to me (Ah, ah)
Why do I put me through hell? (Ah, ah)
I'm feelin' shackled and free (Ah, ah)
I'm fuckin' scared, can you tell? (Ah, ah)
You're bringin' heaven to me
[Post-Chorus]
So high when I'm hitting the floor, I love it
It's so high with my body on yours, I love it
It's so high, I can't run anymore
So I keep coming for more, oh, when you
You're bringin' heaven to me
[Bridge]
I'm always fuckin' it up (Fuckin' it up)
Self-saboteur ('Teur, 'teur)
[Chorus]
You're bringin' heaven to me (Ah, ah)
Why do I put me through hell? (Ah, ah)
I'm feelin' shackled and free (Ah, ah; yeah)
I'm fuckin' scared, can't you tell? (Ah, ah)
You're bringin' heaven to me
[Outro]
Ah, yeah, ooh
Mm (I love it)
You're bringin' heaven to me (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Bringin' heaven to me (Ah, ah)
Ah (Ah-ah)
And I just need a little time (Ah, ah)
And I just need a little time (Ah, ah)
Ah (Ah, ah)
Ooh-oh, yeah (Ah, ah)
You're bringin' heaven to me (Ah, ah)
No, no, no (Ah, ah)
Bringin' heaven to me (Ah, ah)
Oh, yeah (Ah-ah)
Bringin' heaven to me (Ah, ah)
Self-saboteur (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Yeah (Ah, ah)

‘Self Saboteur’ was one of the first songs that I wrote for the album and it managed to still make it. So, I think that speaks volume for like how good I think it is. It was originally a lot more stripped back actually, but that that song is about when I first met Jordan. And I think prior to Jordan...
