about how we seem to find ourselves surrounded by so many problems we could have prevented
Please Note: the title is actually:
"I wish I had someone to lie to me and tell me 'everything will be alright'"
Once again, my title was too long. Oh well. Enjoy. :)


Save me from this mess I'm drowning in
I'm losing sight of the prize
These walls are caving in
Suffocating slowly
Watching as my life slips away
Out of my hands
I'm in over my head
There's so much I want to say
But I'm running out of breath
Will you save me from this mess I've made?

Staring out this window
And looking up at the sky
Watching the distant stars
Wishing I could fly
So I could get away
Make my great escape
Headaches, heart break, and debts to be paid
Let me sleep I never want to wake
Tripping over my own two feet
Watching my heart shatter, break
I'll still regain composure before I relapse
Before I fall from grace
And even God disowns who I've become

Save me from this mess I'm drowning in
I'm losing sight of the prize
These walls are caving in
Suffocating slowly
Watching as my life slips away
Out of my hands
I'm in over my head
There's so much I want to say
But I'm running out of breath
Will you save me from this mess I've made?

Running circles and dropping names
At some point we all cave
Heart beating like drum
Reminding me of what I've done
Telling me I'm not much to save
There's not much left anymore, anyway
There must be someone out there who won't just let me die
I don't want to go out like this
Won't someone even try?

Save me from this mess I'm drowning in
I'm losing sight of the prize
These walls are caving in
Suffocating slowly
Watching as my life slips away
Out of my hands
I'm in over my head
There's so much I want to say
But I'm running out of breath
And you won't save me from this mess I've made.

I'm not sure that I like having the chorus come first in this... I feel like there should be another verse before it... I just haven't thought one up yet I guess.
