I dreamt I stood on the shore
watching you struggle in the tide
each time I tossed you a lifeline
you just pushed it aside

I reached my hand out to you
I did not want to see you drown
You wouldn't let me pull you out
instead you tried to pull me down

~~~

chorus:
You cannot save one
who doesn't want to be saved
And I've grown tired of
your sick and sordid game
melodramatic
self defeat is all you know
I won't let you drag me down with you
You're going down alone, going down alone

~~~

At first your pain seduced me
awoke an answering reply
but your insidious darkness
threatens my very peace of mind

Hell-bent on self destruction
I watch you spiral ever down
but when you reach the bottom
You'll find that I am not around

~~~

chorus:
You cannot save one
who doesn't want to be saved
And I've grown tired of
your sick and sordid game
melodramatic
self defeat is all you know
I won't let you drag me down with you
You're going down alone, going down alone
