If your heart one day stopped beating 

Would you regret the words you said before leaving 

Or would you know I was there at all

Holding you up while you continued to fall


Oh you say you're sorry before the drugs run through your veins

Oh you say you love me before the high slips your mind away

When I was young I held you sleeping your pain away

Held myself up hoping you would be ok

Whispered into your ear it's gonna be ok

We're gonna be ok


The years have passed but I have grown

Held myself up while you left me alone

Guess the high was what you lived for

While I cried for you standing at your door


But it made me strong

I held myself all along


Oh you say you're sorry before the drugs run through your veins

Oh you say you love me before the high slips your mind away

When I was young I held you sleeping your pain away

Held myself up hoping you would be ok

Whispered into your ear it's gonna be ok

No you're not ok

No you're not ok


Many times I dragged you from the floor

Little girl crying saying please no more

Maybe you'll never know how it tore my core

Maybe you'll never win this ongoing war


Oh you say you're sorry before the drugs run through your veins

Oh you say you love me before the high slips your mind away

When I was young I held you sleeping your pain away

Held myself up hoping you would be ok

Whispered into your ear it's gonna be ok

No you're not ok

No you're not ok


The high takes your love away

It's the same as yesterday 

I wish I could take it all away

I wish we could be ok


Oh you say you're sorry before the drugs run through your veins

Oh you say you love me before the high slips your mind away

When I was young I held you sleeping your pain away

Held myself up hoping you would be ok

Whispered into your ear it's gonna be ok

No you're not ok

No you're not ok

The high has stolen you away

The high has stolen you away


If your heart one day stopped beating 

Would you regret the words you said before leaving 

Or would you know I was there at all

Holding you up while you continued to fall

Would you know I was there at all

Like a shadow cast upon the wall
