(V2)my stomach twists and coils
as I think of what shes going through-
the pain I know she feels
is real and burning a hole
in her will to hold on
(CHRS)she rests her head against the desk
rests her head but her mind never ceases
everything crashes around her
and its up to see whether or not it will burn
(CHRS2)she wants to let it burn
let it all burn and go with it
stop caring and let it burn
she wants to feel that escape
she needs an escape
I know what she wants to do
and its all I can do
not to get on my knees and beg her not to
(V2)I want to take her pain
and let her hurt no more
I want to take all the pain
and give her whats left of my happiness
and then maybe
for a moment shell be in peace
(repeat CHRS1)
(V3)it scares me it scares me
to know what she will be doing right this second
to know what she wishes to do
and what she wants to do
I try so hard to protects her
from people
from life
from pain and hurt
but I can only do so much
to protect her from herself
(BRDG)what I wouldnt give
to see her smile for real
to hear her laugh for real
to see her happy and not have to fake it
(V4)can I save her before she lets it all burn?
can I save her and let her know how much I really do care?
can I be there with her
when she tries to let it all go
so I can stop her
so I can hold her hand and wipe her tears
and make sure she knows
how much we all love her
how much I love her
and how very much she means to me
can I stop the burn?
(CHRS1 x2)
(CHRS2 +CHRS1 Overlap)
can I stop the burn
(fade)
