Preserver

So, you think you got the best of me

Inside out you claim to know me
But when it comes down to the bottom of the glass
You're lost because you don't know me at all

I can't throw you a life preserver
I'm sick of trying to rescue you
I need to save myself
Before I can save us or you

I refuse to be the last one out
People change and souls do the same
So to pretend my ideas are something they are not
Is lying to myself, is that what you want

I can't throw you a life preserver
I'm sick of trying to rescue you
I need to save myself
Before I can save you

It's so hard to be alone
The emotions and pain kills me
Drowning in an invisible sea
I know what I have to do
Only I can rescue myself

Can't throw you a life preserver
Sick of trying to rescue you
Need to save myself
Before I can save anyone else
I have to stop my own drowning
