lifeline

words � Tom Smith 1999

He tries to make me feel small by showing me the the things he can do
He tries to make me
Feel worthless

I wish that I was somebody that he could respect
I wish that I was
Worthwhile

**

She tries to make me somebody that i am not
She tries to make me
Better

I wish that I could do the things that she wants
I wish that i was
Better

**

And if you gave me a chance
I'd throw it away
If you gave me a lifeline

And if you helped me to stand
On my own feet
Soon as you let go I'd fall down
