• I wish I could save you

    I wish I could save you
    from all the heart ache you've endured,
    but you keep going back
    to those men you swore to ignore.

    He called and you listened.
    You went without doubt.
    You knew that he loved you
    and he wouldn't dare back out.

    The night flys by
    and you're at my door at dawn.
    Asking why he hurt you
    and what you'd done wrong.

    Three months later
    you're with a new man,
    but he calls again
    And you've forgoten the plan.

    To ignore him.
    Forget him.
    Wipe your memories away.
    Don't you remember the reason you couldn't stay?

    He's only the first.
    Not the worst.
    Not by far.

    On to number two,
    your special someone new
    that you'd charish and love forever.

    But he's broken inside.
    Some part of him died,
    those years he spent in the war.

    And what about him?
    The one with the drugs?

    To high to care
    and he made you feel like a whore.

    And lastly your first love...

    If only I could save you.

    But I can't,
    though I've tried.

    I tell you what you need to hear,
    i try to keep you safe my dear,
    But you can't seem to swear them off

    I wish I could save you
    from all the heart ache you've endured,
    but you keep going back
    to those men you swore to ignore.
