[Verse 1]
I can tell, I can tell how much you hate this
And deep down inside, you know it's killin' me
I can call, wish you well, and try to change this
But nothin' I can say would change anything
Where were my senses?
I left them all behind
Why did I turn away?
Away
[Chorus]
I wish I could save you
I wish I could say to you
I'm not goin' nowhere
I wish I could say to you
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
[Verse 2]
Didn't mean, didn't mean to leave you stranded
Went away 'cause I didn't wanna face the truth
Reachin' out, reach for me empty handed
You don't know if I care, you're tryin' to find the proof
There were times I'd wonder: "Could I have eased your pain?"
Why did I turn away?
Away
[Chorus]
I wish I could save you
I wish I could say to you
I'm not goin' nowhere
I wish I could say to you
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
Save you (It's gonna be alright)
I wish I could save you
[Bridge]
We can pretend nothing's changed
Pretend it's all the same
And there will be no pain tonight
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
[Outro]
Save you (It's gonna be alright)
I wish I could save you
I'm not goin' nowhere
I wish I could say to you
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
Save you (It's gonna be alright)
I wish I could save you
It's gonna be alright
I can tell, I can tell how much you hate this
And deep down inside, you know it's killin' me
I can call, wish you well, and try to change this
But nothin' I can say would change anything
Where were my senses?
I left them all behind
Why did I turn away?
Away
[Chorus]
I wish I could save you
I wish I could say to you
I'm not goin' nowhere
I wish I could say to you
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
[Verse 2]
Didn't mean, didn't mean to leave you stranded
Went away 'cause I didn't wanna face the truth
Reachin' out, reach for me empty handed
You don't know if I care, you're tryin' to find the proof
There were times I'd wonder: "Could I have eased your pain?"
Why did I turn away?
Away
[Chorus]
I wish I could save you
I wish I could say to you
I'm not goin' nowhere
I wish I could say to you
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
Save you (It's gonna be alright)
I wish I could save you
[Bridge]
We can pretend nothing's changed
Pretend it's all the same
And there will be no pain tonight
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
[Outro]
Save you (It's gonna be alright)
I wish I could save you
I'm not goin' nowhere
I wish I could say to you
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
Save you (It's gonna be alright)
I wish I could save you
It's gonna be alright
