The first time I saw you You were dressed in black Your eyes wide open Your hands clutching around your knees You were desperate Later you told me all about Your dreams, the voices in your head Everything you are feeling You needed help
Refrain You said believe me and I said let go It’s all in your head, don’t you know The things that you feel, they are not real You say it’s true and I say it’s you It’s all in your mind, so leave it behind This is not real, this is insane This is insane, this is insane
I listened for hours I tried to help, I saw your hands shaking And your voice trembling, searching for Something to hold on to And I saw your soul breaking Breaking like glass And I spent so many nights Collecting the pieces, trying to Put you back together again But nothing could hold you back
Refrain
Last time I saw you You were dressed in white Your eyes were shut And your hands down by your side You had given up And I tried to help you And God knows I tried But inside I knew There was nothing that I could do To save you, to save you from flying
