In My Life

I can't save you, but I can talk you down

I can hold you, but I won't watch you drown

In my life, things have a way of growing downward

And I don't know if I can watch myself be a coward

Again

I don't know you like I thought I did

But I will show you things that I kept hid

In my life, I've always been the one that had to ruin things

So I don't know, is some dark angel pulling on my heart strings

Again

In my life, things have a kind of ragged beauty

And I don't seem to know right from wrong

Or so they say, unless it's happening to me

People change, I don't know what for

Strangers walking in and out my door

Something's got to change, the past just hangs here to remind me

That one of these mornings, I'll reach for you

And find me

I have told you, I won't watch you drown

I can't save you, but I will be around
