Verse 1:
I see you standing on the edge
Your tears fall like rain from the ledge
You call for rescue, and I want to try
But I’m tangled in my own heavy sky
Pre-Chorus:
Hollow words, my voice is frail
In your storm, I’m lost and pale
Chorus:
How can I save you when I can't save myself?
Wishing I was someone else
Shadow of a silent savior, I dwell
In the echoes of my own private hell
Verse 2:
Your eyes plead for a light to guide
But inside I feel my soul divide
I reach for you, my strength subsides
I’m drowning too, but I cannot hide
Pre-Chorus:
Empty hands, heart encased
In our pain, I see my face
Chorus:
How can I save you when I can't save myself?
Wishing I was someone else
Shadow of a silent savior, I dwell
In the echoes of my own private hell
Bridge:
Maybe one day we’ll both arise
From these depths where hope defies
Until then, I hold on tight
To the dream of us in the light
Chorus:
How can I save you when I can't save myself?
Wishing I was someone else
Shadow of a silent savior, I dwell
In the echoes of my own private hell
Outro:
Silent savior, can't you see?
I'm as lost as you, and we
May just find a way to be
Silent saviors, you and me
