I want to save you
But I don't know how
I want to be true
To that hear that cowers
How do you save someone
That doesn't want to?
How do you leave alone
Someone that is so close to you
My tears fall
Again and again
For the girl
And her despicable sin
I want to save
Your fragile heart
I craved
To comfort you from the start
I read your words
They speak of pain
I see your hurts
Flowing through your veins
I want to hold
Your aching body
Turn away the scold
And fold your life in rhapsody
But I can't save
That which doesn't want to
Even though I crave
To save you
But I won't push and shove
Because I want to know you for a long time
So I will ignore this simaritan love
And supress these comforting notions of mine
I read your dairy again
Of things unheard and seen yet familiar
Cried at her sin
Supressing my torried fear
Not saving you is destroying me
Yet I can do nothing
Past experiences has made me see
That saving means forfeiting
My dillemma will remain this way
Me shutting up with comforts
Killing the things I have to say
My life stranely contorts
So I really want to save you
Because I see your tears
I can hear that you are so very blue
And this fires my fears
But I will not try to save you now
Or even say my words of condolences
Because this I know
The safest way to keep a friend is silence...
