I can' 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, like 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
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
