For Ava
Searching for the right thing to say
To somehow make your pain go away
There’s not much that I can do
So I’ll just be here for you
You don’t deserve this
I wish I could empty the bags under your eyes
Let the music be your medicine just for a little while
Try to be strong, but it’s okay to be weak
No one can blame you for asking, “Why me?”
You don’t deserve this
I’m holding back tears
But I’ve no right to let them fall
When you’re the one
Who’s gotta go through it all
How dare the world keep turning
As you lie helpless on your bed
Fear in your eyes
Doubts in your head
You don’t deserve this
