Standing, a silhouette in his own life.
It had been another hard and restless night
But since then nothing’s ever felt right,
no help, no help offer these empty hands.
A desperate need, 
a desperate need to change the past.
So full of wisdom
but it didn’t help him then.

Sits and drinks until he drowns,
feeling lost but never found.

Chorus
Mouthing “I love you”
with arms outstretched, she’s skipping along the water’s edge.
Just for a moment he turned away,
turned back to her empty space.
Heavily land blaming him,
Carry him off, cage the man.
There’s always another side to the story.

Standing, a bystander his only right,
no escape, no matter how much it hurts inside.
A monochrome nightmare, 
cold stone walls.

Finally, I’ll tell my story,
now I’m counting no age.
Let me explain, she was my baby, but she wouldn’t let me call her name.
She tripped and fell, I blame myself.
Daddy should have held your hand,
daddy should have held your hand
Take me back so I can save myself,
you as well, save myself.

Shouldn’t have left you..
Couldn’t get to you
Shouldn’t have let my heart rule my head.. 
Couldn’t get to you, couldn’t protect you.. 
Shouldn’t have let my heart rule my head …

Overlap backing vox
Be sure, be still now
You tried to do what’s right.
Throw out your questions, 
you couldn’t have changed my path
Be sure, be still now,
You tried to do what’s right
Throw out your questions
You couldn’t have saved my life!..
