Who’s Going To Save Me?

(Music Credit: You’ll Alway Be My Baby by Mariah Carey)

You’re wounded, but you linger on

Everyone you know says you’ve got this.

 But you’ve got to be strong. You go along just to get along,

but you’re thinking, they all must be crazy!

How the hell am I gonna be strong?

Spending the rest of my life alone?

But you smile, and they move on… 

And you wonder who’s, who’s gonna save me?

Life’s a bitch, with your strong face on

No one’s the wiser that you cry all night long

They shower you with hugs and praises, but

You’re thinking, they all must be crazy!

I’m just shuffling along.

Why the hell do they think I’m strong?

But you smile, and they move on… 

And you wonder, who’s going to save me?

Then one day, the light comes on

And you realize you really are strong

You’re thanking those who helped you

with the words, they’ve been saying all along

and they’re thinking, you must be crazy!

And now you’re moving on

Comfortable facing life alone      

Thinking no matter what or who in life shakes me

I’m the one who’s going to save me!

Thanks, for listening.
