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
