Couldn'T Save You
When did everything change?
Where did I go wrong?
Was there something I could have done?
Maybe I could have held onto you tighter
I should've said something
Instead of standing there
Watching you fade away
I couldn't save you
I didn't know how, at the time
Did I make the pain worse?
I'm sorry if I did
You looked at me with those tear stained eyes
No words
Just silence
They told the story, though
You fought for so long
Then, you gave up
You let go of my hand
And I never heard from you again.
