I am watching blindfolded from a distance
I know you are hurting
I want to reach out and take your hand
And let you know
That the pain will never fully go away
It can only be soothed by time
By friends who care
By families who are there
By those who love.

They say nobody can hear
The cries of a broken heart
Especially when it is screaming
Begging for somebody, anybody
To wrap it in a blanket
And hold it while it shakes

I know how that pain can feel
I have wanted to scream
And ask why me
What did I do wrong
To feel the dull ache
Of a broken heart

God, I want you to share
But I know it is too much to ask
And I want to take that hand
But it is not fair to reach out
And I want to dry those tears
But I dare not touch
