if i could save her from sadness

when she was just a little girl

and she'd come home from school in tears

i dry her eyes and tell her it'll be alright

now look at her

she's all grown up

with nothing

but a broken heart

and i think to myself

where did i go wrong

what more could i have done

how could i have prepared her better

if only i could save her from her sadness

if only i could take away her pain

if only i could make her see

there's plenty more fish in the sea

i know that i'd breath easily again
