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
