Rescue Me
Y & T Lyrics

I was down, I was barely makin' it
I was in a bad place, struggling to get by

She was gone and I couldn't take it
The person I cared about was no longer around and it was unbearable

I was looking for a new way of thinkin'
I needed to change my perception of things

When I go to sleep, I pray I wouldn't wake up
Life had become so unbearable that I had thoughts of not waking up

Well, I want you, I want you to rescue me
I need someone to help me out of this situation

The wheel kept turning, but I stood still
Time had passed, but I hadn't made any progress

As the shadow looking for the man
I was lost, searching for myself

Did I play to win or did I win to loose
I questioned whether I was on the right track or not

Of all the cards I had to draw the fool
I felt like I had made a big mistake

All people tellin' me about things I do
Everyone had an opinion about my life

The more I hear, the less I see the truth
As I heard more opinions, I became less sure of what was true

Oh, well, I'm on the edge, I can't look down
I was in a vulnerable state and afraid of the consequences if I failed

Oh, slippin', slippin', slippin' oh, help
I felt like I was losing my grip and needed assistance

A voice faintly callin' from another time
I heard a faint voice from my past

Oh so strange, it sounds like mine
It was a strange sensation hearing my own voice from the past

Shades of black and a twisted road
The future was uncertain and dark

And I can't see the sky from here
The present was clouded and unclear

Oh, do I turn around? I go straight ahead
I needed to make a decision, but wasn't sure which direction to go

I can't stop now, I find the light somewhere
I needed to keep going and find hope somewhere

I want you, I want you to rescue me, oh, rescue me
I wanted someone to save me from this situation

You know I want you
This desire was well-known

Oh, rescue me
Save me from this place I'm in
