Look at me and think I'm weak
If a knight in shining armor is what you seek
Look away, for I'll just hide
It's not my day. I've lost my pride

I can't fight off the monsters underneath your bed
I can't heal your wounds of deep blood red 
I can't shine light on all that is dark
I can't shield you from all danger and harm

I will, of course, care if you are to die
I will say a prayer
and I will of course, cry

I will wish I'd done more to save you from this fate
I will wish I'd been there, kept you from that state 
I will regret every second I hadn't said more
I will wish I'd kept our bond, all I was living for
I shot for the sky
I’m stuck on the ground
So why do I try, I know I’m gonna to fall down
I thought I could fly, so why did I drown?
Never know why it’s coming down, down, down.

lovely! I love the feelings of powerlessness. I sort of get form this that these days we can't have knights in shining armor because the battles we need fought can't be won with swords.
