I Can't Help Myself

I've been lost in the darkness for so long I can't see the light

I've been strung out, burned out, left out an' hung out to dry

So I say to myself that I wanna get better

Hidin' from the truth, I can't last foreverJesus, help me, obviously

I can't help myself, I've got nobody else

Send me an angel, someone to strangle

That old demon that's hauntin' me

There on the shelf, I can't help myselfAn' my excuses are so old an' tired hell, I forgot 'em

I keep fallin', an' crawlin', an' drownin' down here on the bottom

Yeah, I've pushed back my brothers, said goodbye to my friends

When you get in this deep, the hell never endsJesus, help me, obviously

I can't help myself, an' I've got nobody else

Send me an angel, someone to strangle

That old demon that's hauntin' me

There on the shelf, I can't help myselfGimme a reason to live an' show me sign

I'm on the edge goin' out of my mind

I'm down on my knees, I'm beggin' You please

Make me somebody else, I can't help myselfOh, I need something stronger, pour it all over meSend me an angel, someone to strangle

That old demon, aah, 'cause You know that I never will

I can't help myself, Lord, I can't help myself
