lyrics

Can’t Fix Anybody
© Sara Jelley - 2020

Everybody’s got that one old friend
You know the one i’m talking about
The one that doesn’t want to hang around
But doesn’t like to feel left out
Back and forth and back and forth again
Like a carnival ride
Complaining, raising hell but never gone
Just cannot decide

CHORUS:
Somebody should
Just slap ‘em good
Anything you say
Never will sway
All your solutions
Put ‘em back on the shelf cause
You can’t fix anybody but yourself

The one that lives inside of his head
And thinks that he’s the best
He never stops talking just to make himself laugh
Never gives it a rest

The one that lives with some unwritten rules
To feel she’s good enough
She doesn’t trust anyone
And never lets go, how does she
Juggle all that stuff?

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Lean in to the points that are sharp
Others will always show you just where they are
In time you’ll see, just as clear as a bell
You can’t fix anybody but yourself

You ever wonder why these few people
Come into our lives
They knead you, poke you, do stupid shit
That you would never do, right?
They get right up in your face
And never listen to what you say
Guess what? They are just you
Inside a different mask that day

CHORUS:
Somebody should
Just slap you good
Anything they say
Never will sway
All their solutions
Put ‘em back on the shelf cause
You can’t change anybody no
You can’t help anybody no
You can’t fix anybody but yourself

Sara is heart-opening, vulnerable and soulful, and takes her audiences on an emotional mini vacation. She uses her theater experience, her pure voice and nourishing charm to entice the listener into her honest, intentional songs. ... more
