Desperate Man

I know I just display my foolish pride
When I try to be an island to myself
You must be tired of all the stuff that I still hide
Because I just can't seem to trust anyone else
It's a lonely way to live
Such a lonely way to live

I'm a desperate man
I'm in desperate need
Of your saving hand
To come and rescue me

You've been more than patient all this time
If it were me I would have given up long ago
The first time that you pulled me from the mire
And I brushed you off to dig another hole
It's a sad way to live
Such a sad, sad way to live

I'm a desperate man
I'm in desperate need
Of your saving hand
To come and rescue me

I used to be the strong one
The self-sufficient fool
I thought I needed no one
But the plain and simple truth
Is I'm a desperate man

I'm a desperate man
I'm in desperate need
Of your saving hand
To come and rescue me
