Save Me

I didn't mean to lie
When I said you were safe
I'd keep the nightmares at bay
The first time
That I saw you smile
I swore above all else
I'd choose you over myself

But what if I couldn't save you
Even though I tried
What if the dark embraced you
And you lost my light
If I couldn't cut the strings
That kept you tied
But what if I couldn't save you
When I heard you cry
Save me

Those nights when you got scared
You would cry I would check
For monsters under your bed
But I couldn't make it there
When your fate would be sealed
The time the monster was real

What if I couldn't save you
Even though I tried
What if the dark embraced you
And you lost my light
If I couldn't cut the strings
That kept you tied
But what if I couldn't save you
When I heard you cry
Save me

I'm sorry I couldn't save you
I'm sorry I couldn't save you
When I heard you cry
