Lyrics In My Life - Warren Hayes, Warren Haynes

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
