I walked away and broke my heart
Left it bleeding on the floor.
I would give anything for another ending
a different time and place.
You are one thing that keeps me sane
Balanced and in line.
It was the hardest thing to do
Admit I can't save you.
You continue to haunt me
Even after I've left
Your mournful eyes
The silent cry I can feel you stifle
As you put on a brave face.
I long to run back and hold you
Let you know the world is safe
For you to have a safe childhood
hold on to your ideals forever.
Tears run down my face
As thoughts of your misery torture me.
I sob into my pillow
if only I could take your place
I gladly would.
You needed a haven
Why did heaven let you go
To an ill prepared earth.
We were meant to be your guides
Instead we have forsaken you
I pray you find hope somewhere
I have found none.
In letting you down I have damaged my piece of mind.
I need a sign you will be okay
Cause I never will be.
I walked away when you needed me
And now wrestle with my conscience.
