Lyric

Watching you cry was too much to bear

I bothered you with questions that led nowhere

As you ran away, I felt so hollow inside

Falling into a hole where my own ego could hide

I should have wiped the tears before they hit the floor

And held you close, just you, nothing more

That was all I had to do

That was all I had to do

Just to hold you as you are

Without a word, without a scar

That was all it took to save us two

The scream of your soul was burning your skin

What was waiting at the end of the world you were in?

In your wandering eyes and your heart full of fear

The mouth of hell was open, drawing you near

I should have caught the fragments as they fell apart

And pulled you back before the dark could take your heart

That’s what I should have done

That’s what I should have done

Just to catch you as you break

Before the ground began to shake

That was all it took to save us two

Searching for something more than words can say

A key to open up your heart and find a way

To share the silence, to share the weight

Before it was all too late

That was all I had to do

That’s what I should have done

Just to hold you as you are

Without a word, without a scar

Only if I had

Only if I had

I should have pulled you back

Just to hold you
