When I see you lying there 
I want to help you, need to care 
I want to take your hand and make you walk away with me 
But I'm nothing, never would be 
I'm not strong enough to save you 
Strong enough to wipe your tears away and make you smile
 
It's so absurd how we are there 
How can we change this world of ours 
How can you turn your back and walk the other way 
When's someone's begging you to stay 
How can you not see them die?
 
When you told me I didn't listen 
Couldn't hear you, didn't see you die 
Hear you cry, see you reaching out for me 
So they carry on destroying 
Every inch of life inside you 
Every hope and every dream, every sound you've heard
 
It's so absurd how we are there 
How can we change this world of ours 
How can you turn your back and walk the other way 
When's someone's begging you to stay 
How can you not see them die?
 
All is gone, nothing's left 
Just memories and knowledge 
Of what happened, of what could have been 
Of that there once was like 
Still we go on
