You came to me in the night With surrender in your eyes On the front porch in the cold Standing barefoot in a robe Telling me no one can know How the Oxy's taken hold Kept a secret hard to bare You knew I'd keep it because I care And I tried to fix you up but it's never enough To stick Then I tried to lighten up using all of my useless tricks I thought that I had control That I could help you work it out But I'm sadly mistaken, mistaken And everything that I put in Didn't make you want to live again And I'm tired of breakin', breakin' Have to let you sink or swim Have to let you sink or swim All the years kept rolling by Had to let you die and die Have you ever grieved someone Who's still alive and having fun? Now every ounce of weight That you put on I hope it takes You are worthy of your love You are worthy of your space And I tried to fix you up but it's never enough To stick Then I tried to lighten up using all of my useless tricks I thought that I had control That I could help you work it out But I'm sadly mistaken, mistaken And everything that I put in Didn't make you want to live again And I'm tired of breakin', breakin' Have to let you sink or swim Have to let you sink or swim Have to let you sink or swim
