When you were still a child
I wondered where did your scars come from
And why you rarely ever mentioned home
You tried to hide the weight inside
Oh my, I wish I knew before

Merciless wave that beats you down
Not long 'till you surrender
(Not long 'till you surrender)
If only I could turn back time
I’d get to know you better

When you were still alive
I kept forcing you to speak what you feel
Pain hidden well behind a smile
Oh my, I wish I knew before

Merciless wave that beats you down
Not long 'till you surrender
(Not long 'till you surrender)
If only I could turn back time
I swear I’d treat you better

There is a story behind every broken home
Now who’s gonna tell me yours?
There is a story behind
Every broken home, every crippled soul
I dared to blame you for simply losing hope
For that I'll never forgive myself

Merciless wave that beats you down
Not long 'till you surrender
(Not long 'till you surrender)
I’m sorry I can’t turn back time
But I can make sure your sacrifice makes sense

Make sense
Make sense
