I can't save you.
I can't talk you down.
I will 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 have shown 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 if some dark angel is pulling on my heart strings
Again.

People change.
I don't know what for.
Strangers walking in,
In and out my door.

Something's got to change.
The past just hangs here to remind me.
One of these mornings when I reach for you
I'll find me.

I have told you
That I won't watch you drown.

I can't save you,
But I will be around.
