  • I can tell
    I can tell
    How much you hate this
    Deep down inside
    You know it's killing me
    I can call, wish you well
    And try to change this
    But nothing I can say
    Would change anything

    Where were my senses?
    I left them all behind
    Why did I turn away, away?

    I wish I could save you
    I wish I could say to you
    I'm not going nowhere
    I wish I could say to you
    It's gonna be alright
    It's gonna be alright

    I didn't mean
    Didn't mean
    To leave you stranded
    Went away 'cause I
    Didn't want to face the truth
    Reaching out
    Reach for me
    Empty handed
    You don't know if I care
    You're trying to find the proof

    There were times I'd wonder
    Could I have eased your pain?
    Why did I turn away, away?

    I wish I could save you
    I wish I could say to you
    I'm not going nowhere
    I wish I could say to you
    It's gonna be alright
    It's gonna be alright
    It's gonna be alright
    It's gonna be alright

    We can pretend nothing's changed
    Pretend it's all the same
    And there will be no pain
    Tonight
    It's gonna be alright
    It's gonna be alright
    It's gonna be alright
    It's gonna be alright

    I'm not going nowhere
    I wish I could say to you
    It's gonna be alright
    It's gonna be alright
    It's gonna be alright
    It's gonna be alright
    It's gonna be alright Writer/s: Aimee Proal, Ryan B. Tedder
