Johnny Van Zant - I Can't Help Myself lyrics

rate me

I've been lost in the darkness for so long

I can't see the light

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

So I say to myself that I wanna get better

Hidin' from the truth, I can't last forever.

Chorus:

Jesus help me

Obviously, I can't help myself

I've got nobody else

Send me an Angel

Someone to strangle

That ol' demon that's haunting me there on the shelf

I can't help myself.

My excuses are so old and tired, hell I forgot 'em

I keep fallin' and crawlin' and drownin' down here on the bottom

Yeah I pushed back my brothers said good-bye to my friends

When you get in this deep the hell never ends.

Chorus:

Jesus help me

Obviously, I can't help myself

I've got nobody else

Send me an Angel

Someone to strangle

That ol' demon that's haunting me there on the shelf

I can't help myself.

Give me a reason to live; 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

I need something stronger, pour it all over me.

Chorus:

Jesus help me

Obviously, I can't help myself

I've got nobody else

Send me an Angel

Someone to strangle

That ol' demon that's haunting me there on the shelf

I can't help myself.

Send me an Angel

Someone to strangle that ol' demon

'Cause you know that I never will

I can't help myself.

Lord, I can't help myself...
