"A World Away" lyrics

A world away
I wish I could have been there, wish I could have saved you
Every single fucked-up thing a child shouldn't go through
The innocence forever taken
Regret leaves me broken

I should have been there for you
Selfishly away
Now I feel you fade
Now I feel you fade
Now I feel you fade
I feel you fade away
There's nothing I can do or say

Your light grows dim
Shadows close in
This guilt's a heavy weight
And now I start to sink

The things I would change if I could go back
Make sure nothing happened to you
And if I could, I'd take it all away
A life forever changed
A life forever changed
Taken all away

I can't go on
This is too much to bear

The weight of my world is crushing me down
I'm feeling the guilt more with every single step
Bonds that are burned become ash on the ground
Lost in the void, we sink into the dark

When I think back on what happened, I could have stopped it all
I wasn't there, I wasn't there
I wasn't there

Your light grows dim
Shadows close in
This guilt's a heavy weight
And now I start to sink

I start to sink down so low
Sink
Guilt tears me down again
I wasn't there, I'm to blame
Blame

And I know
I could have changed it all
I could have saved you
Changed it all
You would have never been there
I could have saved you, saved you

The weight of my world is crushing me down
I'm feeling the guilt more with every single step
Bonds that are burned become ash on the ground
Lost in the void, we sink into the dark
