I want to be the one to save you
Not drag you under

Everyone wants to be a hero
To save the damsel they've put in destress

I'm afraid of being the one
Who didn't try hard enough

I'm afraid of being the one
Who kept trying...
Long after I should have quit

I'm afraid that nothing I do
Will be good enough

I'm afraid of being there
When you die


because I was too late

But I won't let my fears slow me down.
I'll be the one to save you.
