i wish

I wish i could take it all away
to make everything better
to help you get through another day
i wish i could promise
that it wouldn’t hurt anymore
i wish i could stay with you
and let you know that you
will never be alone
i wish i could take it all away
to help you get through another day
to wipe away the tears and
mend your broken heart
i wish i could be your hero,
make everything better,
and fix this world that we live in
i wish there was something i could do
but i can’t make everything better
i can’t take away all the pain you feel
or erase those nights from your memory
All i can do is try to be a good friend
and point you to the one who
will never leave you, or forsake you,
the one who can fix your broken heart

“in this world you will have trouble, but take heart,
i have overcome the world”
