The words that have yet been spoken, 
the things I need to say,
To voice what's within my heart,
I just can't find a way.

I've fought with my emotions,
I've held them deep inside. 
I didn't want to face what for so long 
you've tried to hide.

I've been lost within the dark 
for so long I've seen no light. 
Holding on to the memory
of a time when things were right.

I've looked upon your face
and seen the sadness in your eyes. 
The battle of addiction 
you no longer can disguise.

I've prayed to find the answers 
of what I myself must do.
And I've prayed for the strength to fight 
through the hell that I go through.

I've held on for so long,
but I can no longer watch you die.
I cannot fight this for you, 
but lords knows how I've tried.

It's just so hard to watch the ones you love 
slowly slip away.
That's why I just blocked it out 
and held on to yesterday.

I don't have all the answers 
or the power to save your soul.
You're broken, lost and lonely, 
and I cannot make you whole.

This fight is yours and yours alone
no matter what I do,
For I cannot save you. 
The only one who can 
is you.
