[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
When you were still alive
I kept forcing you to speak what you feel
Pain hidden well bеhind a smile
Oh my, I wish I knew beforе
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro Breakdown]
But I can make sure your sacrifice makes sense
Make sense
Make sense
