"enabling" lyrics

"enabling"

I knew you'd say sorry when you sobered up
Doesn't mean it didn't happen just cause you were drunk
You're kicking gravel with your shoes, and you keep staring at the ground
Like you're looking for the words down there to dig you out

But you'll get braver in a second and look up straight in my eyes
You'll find both hurt and forgiveness in there, cutting like a knife
'Cause I know you know better, and I know you love me
But choosing love ain't love, unless the choosing is free

Here I go saving the day again
And I know that's what they call enabling
My hero complex is shaking
'Cause I can't keep waiting for you to start saving yourself

You've got a ghost in your past that looks a lot like your dad
And he's an arrow to the target only you can understand
You got more than your temper and your pocket watch from him
But the difference is that you know how to let the sun back in

I keep trying to be patient, 'cause I believe your heart is good
I've seen it with my eyes, wouldn't change it if I could
That doesn't mean it doesn't hurt when you walk right over me
Choosing love ain't love, unless the choosing is free

Here I go saving the day again
And I know that's what they call enabling
My hero complex is shaking
'Cause I can't keep waiting for you to start saving yourself
Oh-oh-oh

You say it's the last time it'll happen
But I break each time I hear that again
And I hate that I'm keep enabling

Here I go saving the day again
And I know that's what they call enabling
My hero complex is shaking
'Cause I can't keep waiting for you to start saving yourself

I just wanna help
I love like you hell
But I can't keep waiting, I've gotta start saving myself
