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
