Lyrics

Written by Tom Hambridge, Jeffrey Steele, Donnie Van Zant and Johnny Van Zant I been lost in the darkness for so long I can't see the light I 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 forever Jesus, 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 myself An' my excuses are so old an' tired: Hell, I forget '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 ends Jesus, 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 myself Gimme a reason to live an' show me a 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 myself Instrumental Break (No!) I need something stronger: Pour it all over me Send me an angel: someone to strangle That old demon: 'Cause you know that I never will I can't help myself
