VAN ZANT
- I Can't Help Myself Lyrics / with translationsI've been lost in the darkness for so long I can't see the light
I've been strung out, burned out, left out an' hung out to dry
So I say to myself that I wanna get better
Hidin' from the truth, I can't last forever
Jesus, help me, obviously
I can't help myself, I've got nobody else
Send me an angel, someone to strangle
That old demon that's hauntin' me
There on the shelf, I can't help myself
An' my excuses are so old an' tired hell, I forgot 'em
I keep fallin', an' crawlin', an' drownin' down here on the bottom
Yeah, I've pushed back my brothers, said goodbye to my friends
When you get in this deep, the hell never ends
Jesus, help me, obviously
I can't help myself, an' I've got nobody else
Send me an angel, someone to strangle
That old demon that's hauntin' me
There on the shelf, I can't help myself
Gimme a reason to live an' show me 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
Oh, I need something stronger, pour it all over me
Send me an angel, someone to strangle
That old demon, aah, 'cause You know that I never will
I can't help myself, Lord, I can't help myself
I've been strung out, burned out, left out an' hung out to dry
So I say to myself that I wanna get better
Hidin' from the truth, I can't last forever
Jesus, help me, obviously
I can't help myself, I've got nobody else
Send me an angel, someone to strangle
That old demon that's hauntin' me
There on the shelf, I can't help myself
An' my excuses are so old an' tired hell, I forgot 'em
I keep fallin', an' crawlin', an' drownin' down here on the bottom
Yeah, I've pushed back my brothers, said goodbye to my friends
When you get in this deep, the hell never ends
I can't help myself, an' I've got nobody else
Send me an angel, someone to strangle
That old demon that's hauntin' me
There on the shelf, I can't help myself
Gimme a reason to live an' show me 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
Oh, I need something stronger, pour it all over me
Send me an angel, someone to strangle
That old demon, aah, 'cause You know that I never will
I can't help myself, Lord, I can't help myself
