lyrics

What you needed

I never felt more tired
Or felt so all alone
Your face behind a curtain
A hand that I can’t even hold

And what is there to say?
When words are frail and hollow
When what you need the most
Is the one thing I can’t give
To feel your breath across my face
To wipe the worry from your brow

Sometimes I’m trapped behind a mask
With all that’s human sealed away
Doing my very best to save you
Letting you know you’re not alone
Nothing to do but carry on
And though my heart keeps breaking
I patch it up and start again

And better days are coming
A lightness in the air
There’s hope on the horizon
If I could just get there

If more lives could be saved
I’d trade a heart that’s hollow
And measure every breath
As though it were my very own
I’d summon up the summer wind
