i will

[tillman]

you can't be saved
from yourself by someone else
i prayed for an easy answer
and nothing came...

ill-advised as it may be
to think of you still,
when no one cares about you, i will
when life goes on without you, i will
when i can't live without you, i will
i will

what was that girl's name?
i remember now, but it's not the same.
shameful thoughts fill my head,
i thought i saw your face--
you were in hell, but you weren't dead...
yet.

ill-advised as it may be
to think of you still,
when no one cares about you, i will
when life goes on without you, i will
when i can't live without you, i will
i will

every promise i have made,
i'm breaking them.
i won't watch you dig your grave
and lay in it.
to all the demons that you'll face
by your side, stride for stride
i'll deal with them.
i won't let you be replaced.

you can't fix me,
some things never change
in another life,
i'll be something else
you can't fix me,
some things never change
that won't stop me now

ill-advised as it may be
to think of you still,
when no one cares about you, i will
when life goes on without you, i will
when i can't live without you, i will
i will
