Music and lyrics by Stephanie Forryan

lyrics

You are not alone. I gave my heart to you years ago.
It was an even trade.
Happened on the same day you gave your heart away to me.

Therefore when your heart is breaking I am the one with knives in my chest.
And when your nightmares wake you I am the one who finds no rest.

I can watch your teardrops fall.
I can catch them if I’m fast enough.
But I can’t make them stop.

I have tried to reach you in everyway – In every way.
And I have failed to reach you in any way – in any way.
You are in so much pain. I did not inflict it, I cannot take it away.
I am helpless.

There are nights where all I can do is remain by your side –
Fighting for your smile.
There are days when I think it comes back for a while.

But when your hopes are falling I am the one who’s down.
And when you drink I am the one who drowns.

I can chase after you.
I can catch you if I’m fast enough.
But I can’t make you stop.

I have tried to reach you in everyway – In every way.
And I have failed to reach you in any way – in any way.
You are in so much pain. I did not inflict it, I cannot take it away.
I am helpless.

These open arms could be your wings. I could shield you from those things.
I will wait with you until the quiet comes, and when it does, we’ll run.

I have tried to reach you in everyway – In every way.
And I have failed to reach you in any way – in any way.
You are in so much pain. I did not inflict it, I cannot take it away.
I am helpless.
