im sorry that i couldnt save you

I’m sorry that I couldn’t save you
When I found you face down
In all that water that was just
Starting to turn cold just like you

I’m sorry that I couldn’t hold you
When you needed me to all those
Times when you came to me all
Bruised and battered, all those times

I’m sorry that I couldn’t love you
The way you deserved and needed
All the attention that you deserved
Better than this life could offer you

I’m sorry that I freaked out and couldn’t
Hold you tight because they pulled me
Away like all those other times when
Someone came in-between you and me

I’m sorry that I couldn’t save you
When you came crying for me to
Protect you like you needed at the
Time when the world as you knew it ended

I’m sorry that I couldn’t save you
From yourself when you told me
To like all the other times that I
Did hold your hands when you cried

I’m sorry that I couldn’t save you
This time when you needed me the
Most in your life that I wasn’t there
The time that I wasted away from you
