Nobody's Hero

Jaded

You look broken, your eyes are black
Scars on your arms
Symbols of those on your heart
I see your smile and it makes me cry
I'd rather you didn't smile at all
I've lost you, but I'm not sure when
Or where I was at the time
And lately I've been losing sleep
Wondering if I could've saved you
Knowing that I couldn't have
Or maybe... If I'd been stronger...
You are a rock, same as the ones you throw at me
Hard, but easily shattered
And I see a me that used to be long ago
If I could, I'd open my closet and pull out my cape
The one that makes me Wonder Woman
And I'd fly you someplace safe
But I threw that away long ago...
And even if I hadn't, I know you'd never leave
You've chosen this path
Though lord knows I'm at a loss as to why
Remind me that it's not my job to care anymore
I'm no ones hero, least of all yours
But dammit, I wish you'd let me save you
