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
