"Powerless" lyrics

Afflicted by a cruel disease, a father to bury his baby
No matter what, I hope she sees that I tried everything
Torn apart from the inside, no doctor to save you
Don't say your goodbyes, if only that I knew
You've held on so long, but I'm not so strong
Is this how it feels to be powerless?
I'm sorry that I couldn't see you fighting this war so silently
I don't care how hopeless it may be
I won't give up on you until you give up on me
Oh God, don't you take her. I'll beg and I'll plead. She doesn't deserve this
Just take me instead
Your vitals are failing, your body grows cold
I wasn't ready to face this at three years old
I'll take your little hand in mine, one last time
Torn apart from the inside, no doctor to save you
Just open your eyes, if only that I knew
You've held on so long, but I'm not so strong
Is this how it feels to be powerless?
I know how tired your heart must be
I know how hard you've tried to stay with me
So let go, it's alright
You don't have to fight anymore
If I could do it all again, knowing there's nothing I could do to save you
I'd fight for you a thousand times just the same
If I could do it all again, knowing there's nothing I could do to save you
I'd hold you in my arms until your heart stops beating
