I wish I could wipe away your tears,
Hold you in my arms and protect you
That I could stand for you
When your knees buckled
And your legs failed...

I wish I could make you forget
Everything that was out to hurt you
That I could show you hope
When everything grew dark
And keep my promises...

I wish I was stronger
Able to carry away your problems,
That I knew the right words to say
When all was said and done
And time had run out...
