Ryan Saylor - Saving People Lyrics

Saving people that don't want to be saved is hard
I'm far from understanding God's greater planning but I'm marred
By going through lives meaningless screaming "Are you seeing this?"
At the sky
No, no I'm fine
I mean yeah I cried for the fifth time but I don't mind
I lie
To myself and you the metaphorical
But I'll find health and be better more of the time
I remember this girl that played soccer
She whirled and dribbled like a rockstar
She won at playoffs three times
Now she has a kid because she couldn't leave the father
To go get an education
And face the facts - she was on track
For scholarships, The dollar chip gambled
Was her future and she lost
And just for a moment
An epiphany
I realize what Jesus Christ must think of me
Cause I thought I could do it on my own
And I was blind
Rewind
Let's talk about this friend of mine
That unwinds on the couch
She pours shots down her mouth
She's got a heavy hand
And I understand the appeal of alcohol
But when you ignore feelings' protocol
And don't take the time
But attach a lime
Things get bad
I mean depression is tough
This girl had it rough
She said she'd not make it past sixteen
But she was still fixing her drink
Next to me at twenty one
Ain't it fun?
Paramour is paramount
When Sarah mounts her man for the night
Drown the pain
You'll go insane otherwise
So these thunder thighs squeeze
And for fifteen minutes she hasn't considered suicide
But I'm one to talk
I have the God of the universe on my side
And I can't find happiness sometimes
I can't get out of bed cause these thoughts in my head
Are like boa constrictors constricting me instead
These words
That I can't say but for some reason can write
It's a fight to confront them but not be beaten
Beating me into submission
I'll be okay tomorrow
I'll be okay tomorrow
How can I save you when I can't save myself?
And I know we can't change the cards we're dealt
But maybe we can take out the jokers
So sir please don't get out the belt
And make me run away
I don't want to run away
I'm just trying to save people that don't want to be saved
Okay
Let me tell you about this boy
Call him Dildo cause he was this girl's toy
She didn't love him
But she sure loved the way he made her feel
Cause he loved her and that feeling was real
Then she left
A hole in his chest
The best thing about his life
Picturing his future wife
And the strife
Got him addicted to sex
Addicted to texts
Lighting up his phone
Fighting to not be so alone
Waiting for his dad to come home
Or maybe that was his sister
That missed the mister
That kissed his life away
Turned out he didn't want to stay
So he left
I mean it was a 50/50 chance
You get antsy and want to dance
With someone younger and prettier
Use your tongue, feel wittier
New Girl laughs at your jokes
Doesn't matter that Old Girl is at home
I called up a friend one time
Told him about a friend of mine
Told him about how I couldn't say or do anything
To make her think that maybe she wasn't fine
He said this
You can't save everyone
The night is long and without the Son
We're blind
So all you can do is try to show them the Light
