Oh Susannah

You never asked me to
I didn't think I could
But I put that weight on me
Couldn't carry a cross of wood
Couldn't carry a cross of wood

I tried to pull you up
Turns out I wasn't enough
I always let you down
Who the hell did I think I was?

Oh, Susannah, don't you go cryin' for me
It's all gettin' better
I couldn't be who you want me to be
Thought I was a savior
But I was a fool on drunken behavior
Why did I believe I could save you, darlin', without killin' me?

(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
Without killin' me
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

We go together, so bittersweet
Like misery and company
And I know you can't say no
I don't really wanna let you go
But I gotta leave, so you can be free
That's what you really need

And, oh, Susannah, don't you go cryin' for me
It's all gettin' better
But I couldn't be who you want me to be
Thought I was a savior (savior)
But I was a fool on drunken behavior
Why did I believe I could save you, darlin', without killin' me?

(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
Without killin' me
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

I was a problem
Only tryna be the cure
I was a problem
Only tryna be the cure
I was a problem
Only tryna be the cure
I was a problem, I was a problem
I was a problem, I was a problem

And, oh, Susannah, don't you go cryin' for me
It's all gettin' better
But I couldn't be who you want me to be
Thought I was a savior (savior)
But I was a fool on drunken behavior
Why did I believe I could save you, darlin'?
Why did I believe I could save you, darlin', without killin' me?

(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
Without killin' me
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
