I thought I could make you want to live,
I let you take everything I had to give

I believed I could save you
I thought you believed in being saved too

You've put your mind to see, you're broken
And it scares me to think your heart will shrink from the sadness it's been soaked in

I pray you'll gain the strength you once had,
to build up your courage, take away the sad

So I'll walk away now, leaving you as you are
Praying my walk out doesn't leave another scar

Because I'll never know how to save you,
And I wish so badly I could
So I'll pray to the stars, and I'll pray-you to be happy
But I'll leave you as you are, as I always have should
