Lyrics
I’m afraid you cannot help me, I have to do this on my own
No one can pull me forward, If I can’t go I’ll stay alone
I’m afraid you cannot heal me, there is a reason for this pain
If you were to try to shield me, I would not receive the gain
If you save me, how can I save myself
I’m afraid you cannot wake me, this is one battle for one
And any offering to comfort would be my progress undone
If you save me, how can I save myself
There is time for all the healing, there is room for all the work needs be done
Just keep the faith, I’m on my way, and I will be there soon
If you save me, how can I save myself
If you save me, and how I want you to save me,
But if you save me, how can I save myself
I know you want to ease my sorrow but this is my cross to bear
If I can make it to tomorrow, I can make it anywhere
