Couldn't save you from the start, love you so it hurts my soul... Can

Oh, for so long I’ve tried to shield you from the world
Oh, you couldn’t face the freedom on your own
Here I am left in silence
Couldn't save you from the start, love you so it hurts my soul... Can you forgive me for trying again, your silence makes me hold my breath, all the time has passed you by... Oh, for so long I've tried to shield you from the world...
