I don't see a way out of this nightmare
When all four walls are closing in
And I can barely breathe
Surrender to the poison you lay dying
There you lie on broken wings
I'm helpless by your side
It's not right

I wish I could have been the one to guide you
But how could you look up to me
When I'm lying on the floor
I never meant for you to fall beside me
Or take my place in line
I've just myself to blame
And my shame

You said you believed in me
Why would you put faith in me
Instead of you leaving me
They take you away from me

If I could rise
And find a way
To find you
Then I would say to you
My child
I'm sorry

You said you believed in me
Why would you put faith in me
Instead of you leaving me
They take you away from me
