Oh Susannah

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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? [Chorus] 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? [Post-Chorus] (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) Without killin' me (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] And oh, Susannah Don't you go cryin' for me, it's all gettin' better But I couldn't bе who you want me to be, thought I was a savior (Savior) But I was a fool on drunken bеhavior Why did I believe I could save you, darlin' Without killin' me? [Post-Chorus] (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) Without killin' me (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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'? Oh, why did I believe I could save you, darlin' Without killin' me? [Post-Chorus] (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) Without killin' me (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
