If I Was Better

why does everyone suffer around me,
why can't I save them from hell?
why can't I take tormented insanity,
and place it all on myself?

why do they all hurt like only I should,
crying on lonely nights astray,
if I was better, maybe I could,
but my own pain is here each day.

I would take the worlds hurt, and all of it's hate,
and force it all into my soul,
but I still watch your tears, I sit here in wait,
and I seem to have lost all control.

I wish could cry enough tears for the world,
to never have to weep again,
I wish you didn't think it so absurd,
you can't know how long it's been.

since I've slept a full night soundly,
and not cried for all of you,
It hurts me so much to not see you rebounding,
I just don't know what to do. . . . .

. . . . .If I was better, maybe I could.
