[Verse 1]

Lay you at the peak

Cresting my growing pile

Of mounting anniversaries

The times we’ll never celebrate

[Refrain]

I wish I knew how to help

I wish I knew how to help

[Verse 2]

And I’m running my tongue

Over this old sore

That sickly sting

That I wish I could ignore

[Bridge]

And it starts to feel

Like it’ll never heal

[Verse 3]

And in your dreams

I’d still appear as a child

Unattended

You couldn’t protect me

[Refrain]

I wish I knew how to help

I wish I knew how to help

[Outro]

And I’m running my tongue

Over this old sore

That sickly sting

That I wish I could ignore

And it’s chipping away

And it’s exposing the core

Each and every day

Just a little bit more
