Can Somebody Save Me
Of everything I gave up
Still feel like it’s not enough
Of everything I gave up
I’m left with no one to trust
Of everything I gave up
I feel like everything is burning to dust
Can somebody save me?
I’m living in a bubble
Can somebody save me?
Is it worth all this trouble?
Can somebody save me?
Make this strain go away
Suffering through it, day after day
Can somebody save me?
On my knees, to the Lord I pray
When I begin, I don’t even know what to say
When I pray, “Dear Lord,” I say
“Please can you make this pain ago away?
This stress is ridiculous, it’s pointless
And I’m sick of it.
For everything I stand for, been put through the ringer
But in return, all I got was the finger
And this pain won’t go away, it’ll just stay and linger
Oh please Lord, I can’t be that much of a sinner.”
Can somebody save me?
“but oh Lord, can’t you just end this game?
But you won’t, everything just stays the same
God, I’m on the brink of going insane
And it’s all because you wont take away my pain”
Of everything I gave up
Still feel like it’s not enough
Of everything I gave up
I’m left with no one to trust
Of everything I gave up
I feel like everything is burning to dust
Can somebody save me?
“Lord please save me, I’m hanging by a thread
My biggest enemy is my mind, as I’m slipping off the edge
As the problems grow bigger, the bigger the wedge
Dear Lord, did you hear what I just said?
No, you never answer, so now its time for bed”
Can somebody save me?
No… Amen.
