You are helpless, free as a feather
You fell from a bird, no longer are tethered
I had an attachment, I hurtled to catch it
I opened the door, I opted to latch it
Your innocence kills me, it quickens my breath
My breathing is shallow, I'm out of my depth
You're running from something, you're running for fun
I'll never forget you drenched in the sun
You were all laughing, I stopped and I let you
I promised myself, I'd never forget you
As long as I live, I won't understand
It comes around once and never again
I forget I can control the way that I see the event
Forgive you to forget
I recall the way the words would stay in my mouth
No chance for a true word to come out, to come out
I wish I could freeze you, thaw you
Steal you from terror, hide you
Tell you it's all a lie
I wish I could help you, save you
Keep you in sunshine
It's someone's job but it's not mine
It's not mine, it's not mine
It's not mine to do
It's not mine, it's not mine
It's not mine to do
♪
I know in a decade I won't have existed
You might have a memory, but maybe it's twisted
I sat in the front or was it the back
I sang you a song, it slipped through the cracks
We counted to ten, we did it again
We counted to ten, we did it again
And now you are crying, gasping for air
Chocking on something but nothing is there
I had a reaction, but I was just scared
I thought of your sister with clips in her hair
I thought of your parents, looking to me
We're all here to help you, we're all on your team
I forget I can control the way that I see the event
Forgive you to forget
I recall the way the words would stay in my mouth
No chance for a true word to come out, to come out
I wish I could freeze you, thaw you
Steal you from terror, hide you
Tell you, "It's all a lie"
I wish I could help you, save you
Keep you in sunshine
It's someone's job but it's not mine
It's not mine, it's not mine
It's not mine to do
It's not mine, it's not mine
It's not mine to do
It's not mine, it's not mine
It's not mine to do
It's not mine, it's not mine
It's not mine to do
It's not mine, it's not mine
It's not mine to do
It's not mine, it's not mine
It's not mine to do
It's not mine, it's not mine
It's not mine to do
It's not mine, it's not mine
It's not mine to do
