(This is a song about feeling like you can never do enough for those you love)
-
I try my best
But it gets nowhere
I put you to rest
Take all your knotted hair
Lay it in my lap
And yet you were still there
How could I stop you from running out of time…?
How could I stop this aching heart of mine…
What do I do?
If it won’t work here
And how do I change?
I’m asking you now to help me out
So I can help you from just running out of time
How do I stop this snapping lineGive me your hands
And I’ll take all this pain
Don’t let it run through your head
Don’t let it fall out your veins
Cause I’m right here
And I’ll make sure you’re okay
Don’t let it run through your head
Don’t let it run through your headI try to cry
I’ve turned off emotion
To settle things right
I fuck up I’m corrosive
How could I stop you from turning out like me?
How could I let you breathe fresh air let you see?
And how do I know
If I’m just too much
How can I help?
If you won’t let me understand
So just tell me how you’re running out of time
Tell me how you’re broken how to save this heart of mineGive me your hands
And I’ll take all this pain
Don’t let it run through your head
Don’t let it fall out your veins
I’m sorry I’m sorry I cannot save you
But please don’t let me cry
Over your broken soft dull aching eyes
I’m sorry I’m sorry you couldn’t take it
Sorry you still cannot
But please don’t let me cry
Over your broken soft dull aching eyes…
