I Couldn't Save Him
He was supposed to be okay
I went back to yesterday to save him
He wasn’t supposed to die
He called out for help
He called out for me to come get him
But now I know who he was really calling for
He was trying to help the girl
He knew that he was going to die anyway
I wouldn’t have known him if he hadn't called
He wasn't selfish, or mistrustful at all
He went along with everything I said up til the end
Never doubting me for a moment
Never saying I couldn’t do it
He gave his life for that little girl
I didn’t know it at the time
Although, I think he did
He knew he was supposed to save her
And die making everything right
What I didn’t know was how to save him
I didn’t get a second day
I had had one already
But now I know what I am missing
And my heart is still yearning
He was the brave one out of both of us
He knew he had to try
He knew he had to save her
Even if he was going to die.
Sad, but really good!
