I ain’t got nobody here to save me   But don’t think that I’m complaining   I’m just saying that nobodies got anyone here at all   Who can save them from their grief   Or give them any relief from all their pain      The sadness comes and goes in me   I mean to say it comes and goes in you   And ain’t it true nobody can save you from yourself   But you and you alone know    How to mend those broken bones   Inside your mind   It just takes time      Don’t go and cry on somebody else’s shoulder   They’ve got their own sorrows to bear   Maybe when you were young   But not now that you’re older   How many of them do you think would really care?      If life’s a road I’m doomed to travel it alone   Though I might hitchhike along the way   And lovers come and go   And tell me how they’d like to share their load with me   But I can’t be that man for them   I can only be their friend and tell them   That they’re on their own      I ain’t got nobody here to save me   But then again neither do you   Not your closest friend or lover can begin to comprehend    The deepest thoughts within the trenches of your mind   No one knows how to mend those bones   It just takes time.
