When I’m sinking in the water,

And I feel the overwhelming sea.

Its when you always throw a lifeline,

And it’s there to rescue me.

I’m not sure just how I got here,

Or how I got this bitter pill.

I just know I need a lifeline,

My heart is broken still.

Won’t you save me from the madness?

Can you help me find the calm?

Have you seen a lifeline,

That helps me carry on?

I am not sure how I’ll keep going,

If I keep on at this pace.

I need my steady lifeline,

If I am sure to win this race.

I am asking you to save me,

From the storm I’m walking through.

Will you be my lifeline?

Get me on the path to you.
