You can't stop the pain
That rips at my heart
All you can do is sit
And watch it tear me apart

Into this dark, cold night
Watching as I struggle
To slowly win this fight

That covers my eyes
Watching them scream out
Through my muted cries

Don't let me go
And slip silently away
Hold strong to my hand
So I know that it's all okay
With you by my side
I am not afraid
To go off on this long
And scary escapade
