Rescue Me
Krystal Meyers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Making it lie down
I'm my strongest ally, living life as I know how
I'm carrying the weight of a world that sold me out
I'm running with my eyes closed
Hoping you don't see this doubt
I'm lost for words
I'm at a loss to tell you what I need
I know there's something more
God, help me to believe
~Chorus~
And all this time
I thought the fight
The fight was only mine
I need to let you rescue me
I'm taking fire
I'm feeling tired
I'm tired of this fight
I need to let you rescue me
I let it go to breathe
I can't take it anymore
I refuse to wake up one more time bleeding on the floor
I won't let myself hold back
I'll surrender what's inside
You become my healing tourniquet
So I can feel alive
I feel so exposed
I'm afraid to lose total control
With nothing left to hold
You reach for me and wouldn't let me go
~Chorus~ (x2)
