Lyrics

You need to grab the hands
trying to pull you up
You need to head to shore
when the water's getting rough
You need to recognize
the ones truly trying to help
They can save you from the pain
but can't save you from yourself

You need to hear the words
that are only said in love
You need to pull me close
and not give me a shove
You need to see the ones
who only wish you well
They can save you from more hurt
but can't save you from yourself

You need to know there's stress
you can easily release
You need to kick away the demons
and just let in the peace
You need to feel the strength
in the hope I try to sell
I can save you from the darkness
but I can't save you from yourself

You need to face the fact
that others may be right
You need to realize
they're also in this fight
You need to know my heart
is in the promises I tell
I could save your life
but I can't save you from yourself
