Take a breath, I pull myself together.
Just another step until I reach the door.
You'll never know the way it tears me up inside to see you..
I wish that I could tell you something to take it all away.

[Chorus] Sometimes I wish I could save you,
And there's so many things that I want you to know.
I won't give up 'til it's over.
If it takes you forever, I want you to know..

When I hear your voice,
It's drowning in the whispers.
It's just skin and bones,
There's nothing left to take.
And no matter what I do,
I can't make you feel better.
If only I could find the answer to help me understand..

[Chorus] Sometimes I wish I could save you,
And there's so many things that I want you to know.
I won't give up 'til it's over.
If it takes you forever, I want you to know that..

If you fall, stumble down, I'll pick you up off the ground.
If you lose faith in you, I'll give you strength to pull through.
Tell me you won't give up,
'Cause I'll be waiting if you fall.
You know I'll be there for you.

If only I could find the answer to take it all away..

[Chorus] Sometimes I wish I could save you,
And there's so many things that I want you to know.
I won't give up 'til it's over.
If it takes you forever, I want you to know..

I wish I could save you..
I want you to know..
I wish I could save you..

What if I lead the way?
What if I make mistakes?
(will you be there..?)
What if I change the world?
What if I take the blame?
(will you be there..?)

I remember going back
To the place we used to lay
But I keep losing track
And now the days they all turn black
And our dreams all start to fade
But there's no turning back

'Cause the world keeps turning
(why do you tell me you care if you're not gonna stay?)
My heart's still burning
(why do you tell me you care?)

What if I change the world..
If I lead the way?
What if I be the one..
That takes the blame?
What if I can't go on without you?
What if I graduate?
What if I don't?
What if I don't?

Now I'm slowly giving up
As the world keeps losing faith
And you still turn your back
Now the path I follow takes a toll on me...
On you,
But there's no turning back...

'Cause the world keeps turning
(why do you tell me you care if you're not gonna stay?)
My heart's still burning
(why do you tell me you care?)

What if I change the world?
If I lead the way?
What if I be the one
That takes the blame?
What if I can't go on without you?
What if I graduate?
What if I don't?
What if I don't?
What if I don't?
What if I don't?

(What if I don't?)
(What if I don't?)

I'll be waiting here
I'll be waiting here
I'll be waiting here
For you to call me
(repeat)

I'll be waiting here (waiting)
I'll be waiting here (waiting)
I'll be waiting here (waiting)
For you to call me

Oh

What if I lead the way?
What if I graduate?
What if I change the world?
Would you still remember me?
What if I lead the way?
What if I graduate?
What if I change the world..
And I found the words to tell you what you mean to me..?

I'll be waiting here
I'll be waiting here
I'll be waiting here
For you to call me
(repeat)
