In My Life
Navigating Life's Depths: Warren Haynes' Poetic Reflections
Lyrics
I can' save you, but I can talk you down
I can't rescue you, but I can provide support and comfort.
I can hold you, but I won't watch you drown
I can offer assistance, but I won't witness you succumb to difficulties.
In my life, things have a way of growing downward
In my life, challenges tend to accumulate and become overwhelming.
And I don't know if I can watch myself be a coward
I'm unsure if I can endure observing myself act fearfully.
Again
This uncertainty and fear have happened before.
I don't know you like I thought I did
My understanding of you may not be as accurate as I believed.
But I will show you things that I kept hid
However, I am willing to reveal aspects of myself that I kept hidden.
In my life, I've always been the one that had to ruin things
Throughout my life, I've often been the cause of ruining situations.
So I don't know, like some dark angel pulling on my heart strings
I'm uncertain, like a mysterious force influencing my emotions.
Again
Repeating the cycle of uncertainty and fear.
In my life, things have a kind of ragged beauty
In my life, there's a unique and uneven beauty to the challenges.
And I don't seem to know right from wrong
I struggle to distinguish between right and wrong.
Or so they say, unless it's happening to me
Others claim I can't understand unless I experience it personally.
People change, I don't know what for
People transform, and I'm uncertain about the reasons behind it.
Strangers walking in and out my door
Unknown individuals enter and exit my life frequently.
Something's got to change, the past just hangs here to remind me
Change is necessary, and the past lingers as a reminder.
One of these mornings, I'll reach for you
One day, I'll seek your presence and find myself.
And find me
Discovering my true identity and purpose.
I have told you, I won't watch you drown
I've emphasized that I won't witness your downfall.
I can't save you, but I will be around
I can't rescue you, but I'll remain by your side.
