I didn't mean to lie When I said you were safe I'd keep the nightmares at bay The first time that I saw you smile I swore above all else I'd choose you over myself but What if I couldn't save you Even though I tried What if the dark embraced you And you lost my light If I couldn't cut the strings That kept you tied What if I couldn't save you When I heard you cry Save me Those nights when you got scared You would cry I would check For monsters under your bed But I couldn't make it there When your fate would be sealed The time the monster was real What if I couldn't save you Even though I tried What if the dark embraced you And you lost my light If I couldn't cut the strings That kept you tied What if I couldn't save you When I heard you cry Save me I'm sorry I couldn't save you I'm sorry I couldn't save you When I heard you cry
