I can tell
I can tell how much you hate thins
And deep down inside
You know it's killin' me
I can call
Wish you well
And try to change this
But nothing I can say
Would change anything
Where were my senses
I left them all behind
Why did I turn away
Away

I wish I could save you
I wish I could say to you
I'm not going nowhere
I wish I could say to you
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright

Didn't mean
Didn't mean to leave you stranded
Went away 'cause I didn't want to face the truth
Reachin' out
Reach for me empty handed
You don't know if I care you're trying to find the proof
There were ties I'd wonder
Could I have eased your pain
Why did I turn away
Away

I wish I could save you
I wish I could say to you
I'm not going nowhere
I wish I could say to you
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright

It's gonna be alright
Save you
I wish I could save you

We can pretend nothing's changed
Pretend it's all the same
And there will be no pain tonight

It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright

Save you
I wish I could save you
I'm not going no where
I wish I could say to you
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
Save you
I wish I could save you

It's gonna be alright
