I CAN’T
I can see you are in pain
But I can’t feel it
I can sense you are in misery
But I can’t relieve it

I can listen to your fears
But I can’t protect you
I believe you’re reaching out
But I can’t embrace you

I can ask you not to cry
But I can’t dry your tears
I can offer you advice
But you’re wiser than your years

I can say I love you
But I can’t mean it
I would plead to save your life
But I can’t save it

I could touch all of your scars
But I can’t heal their reason
I can only wish I could
Release you from your prison
