Childhood it passed rightby us like a blur, things that go in one ear and come right out the other,
fairy tales and happy Endings make us sick, feel like a brick, and the bad things stick.
Shoulda,coulda, wouldas rack up high, wondering how lucky we are to be alive
But we’re haunted by the past, it affects us still, such a bitter pill.
Oh I wish I could have saved you,
from all that you have been through,
I wish I could take the pain
I wish that I could ease all of your burdens
Oh I wish you could be happy
Oh I wish you’d reach rock bottom
that you’d finally see the the light.
That I could stop idly standing by
Still you’re drowning in those beers, I don’t interfere, and hope that you’re still here.
Oh I wish you could be happy
Woah——-woah——-woah——-
We have never been close, you and I.
Helplessness it cuts between us like a knife
Wanna let you know you’re not alone,
Let’s un break our home, Please pickup your phone.
Oh I wish I could have saved you,
from all that you have been through,
I wish I could take the pain
I wish that I could ease your burdens
Oh I wish you could be happy
Oh I wish you’d reach rock bottom
that you’d finally see the the light.
That I could stop idly standing by
No one tells you of the years, how they hurt and sear, when you’re no longer here.
Oh I wish I could have saved you,
I wish I could have saved you,
Woah———-woah.
I wish I could’ve saved you.
