Time and time again you suffer
And time again I see you break
The pain and sorrow in your eyes
Is far too much for me to take
You do not deserve this fate
It hurts to see you in this state
I'm crushed inside inside each time you cry
I want to die when you're denied
The joy I wish for you to find

[End structure, commence raw expressions from the heart]

You are among my best-kept secrets

How much I care for you

The things I'd do to make you smile

The things I'd do to save you from
The twisted wreck your life's become

I watch your world collapse
[A dagger to my heart]

I see you rebuild upon the wreckage
[Ascend above the ashes]

And watch as it all just falls apart

Time and time again


I want to take you by the hand
And help you to stand tall
To giv eyou such support to stand
That you will never fall

I want someone to love you
To treasure you like precious jewels
I'v eseen your partners come and go
And all of them were fools
[All of them, they were, indeed]
[They cast you away so readily]
[what more proof do I need?]

What kills me most is knowing I can't save you
Each time you fall I want so much
To offer you my heart

But we both know that I cannot
Why I cannot

I cannot


All I can do is "be there for you"
Which is not always enough

You could have more
Deserve more
Should have more
Should have so much more

And every time [we both know it]
I cannot deliver

And it pains me to the core...

...

{Silence... The absence of assertion...}

...

Please forgive me




Time

and time

again
