Lyrics I Can't Help Myself - Van Zant

I Can't Help Myself

I’ve been lost in the darkness for so long
I can’t see the light
I’ve been strung out, burned, left out, and hung out to dry.
So I say to myself that I wanna get better
Hidin' from the truth, I can’t last forever
(Chorus)
Jesus help me
Obviously, I can’t help myself
I’ve got nobody else
Send me an Angel
Someone to strangle
That ol' demon that’s haunting me there on the shelf
I can’t help myself.
My excuses are so old and tired, hell I forgot 'em
I keep fallin' and crawlin' and drownin' down here on the bottom
Yeah I pushed back my brothers said good-bye to my friends
When you get in this deep the hell never ends
(Repeat Chorus)
Give me a reason to live;
show me a sign
I’m on the edge;
goin' out of my mind
I’m down on my knees;
I’m beggin' you please make me somebody else
I can’t help myself
I need something stronger, pour it all over me
(Partial Chorus)
Send me an Angel
Someone to strangle that ol' demon
'Cause you know that I never will
I can’t help myself
Lord, I can’t help myself.
