Forced into a role that no one deserves
You fight for your life, I observe
Helplessness spreads like fear in the dark
Hands can't reach hands when they're inches apart
Don't count on me to be your savior
I will only let you down
And if the night is full of terror
You come undone
I could run for miles and would never reach you
I could hold you tightly, you'd still slip right through
At lightspeed, I'd still be too late
I can't save you from this tidal wave
A burden so big it seems larger than life
If I could I would carry it a hundred miles
But my hands are useless, my feet won't move
Just take them off, they are of no good use
Your eyes tell a story you try to hide
You fight for your life, I'm standing idly by
Helplessness feels like your blood on my skin
I can't wash it off, I'm a part of the sin
Don't count on me to be your savior
I will only let you down
And if the night is full of terror
You come undone
I could run for miles and would never reach you
I could hold you tightly, you'd still slip right through
At lightspeed, I'd still be too late
I can't save you from this tidal wave
Dark waves are coming your way
Eager to hunt and swallow their prey
I'm trying to reach for your hand
As you fade away
