Lyrics:

I didn't mean to lie (to lie, to lie)
When I said you were safe
I'd keep the nightmares at bay
The first time (time)
That I saw you smile
I swore above all else (all else, all else)
I'd choose you over myself
But, what if I couldn't save you (save you, save you)
Even though I tried?
What if the dark embraced you (embraced you, embraced you)
And you lost my light?
If I couldn't cut the strings (the strings)
That kept you tied!
What if I couldn't save you (save you, save you)
When I heard you cry
"Save me"?

Those nights when you got scared (got scared, got scared)
You would cry, I would check
For monsters under your bed (your bed)
But I (but I)
Couldn't make it there
When your fate would be sealed (be sealed)
The time the monster was real
What if I couldn't save you (save you, save you)
Even though I tried?
What if the dark embraced you (embraced you, embraced you)
And you lost my light?
If I couldn't cut the strings (the strings)
That kept you tied!
What if I couldn't save you (save you, save you)
When I heard you cry
"Save me"?

I'm sorry I couldn't save you (save you, save you, save you, save you, save you)
I'm sorry I couldn't save you (save you, save you)
When I heard you cry
