(Chorus)
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

(verse)
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
(verse)
I have told you
I won't watch you drown
I can't save you
but I will be around
