Upon the shackles of my life
People come and go
Yet every little point in this life
Is there a lady that i hold

Never knew the reason behind
Never knew what i did
All i know was they needed someone
And that someone i chose to be

Advice have i used to give
Now that skill no longer lives
Seems that emotions clouded my thoughts
Tonight no words could i speak

Knew not then, what to do
When the tears fell out of the blue
Topic was her greatest heartache
Yet she told me all she could

There was nothing that i did
Just sat there and let her be
I could never really know
What she went through, all she told

Wanted to lend her my shoulder
Wanted her to know i'm there
Wanted to hence forth take care of her
Yet to tell her, i do not dare

When have i been so weak
And so scared to care for a loved one
When have i become so shallow
That i no longer can think....
