If I could save you from hurting yourself
When love comes in slowly and takes you by stealth
Or comes with a rush so you can't get your breath,
If I could - If I could.
If I could teach what I never learnt
Stop you from getting your fingertips burnt
Seeing blind alleys where ever you turned
If I could - If I could - would I?

If I could save you from hurting like that
When love throws you sideways and knocks you down flat
Or help you build happiness over a chat

If I could save you from passion run wild
So much it hurts though you manage a smile
As you cross broken glass for another long mile
If I could - If I could - would I?

If I could save you from moments like these
When love gets you nowhere but down on your knees
You got what you want but you never know peace
If I could - If I could.
If I stay near you when you stray too far
Trying to reach for that dim, distant star
Maybe you'll never find out who you are
