I'm no life preserver.

I'm no hand-me-down.

I'm the navigator

of a ship on its way down.

 

I'm a hated neighbor.

I'm not one to stare.

I'm no ******* savior.

I'm not able to care.

 

I rescue what I can,

but maybe this time I can't.

I will let you down again,

because I'm always good at that.
