It Tears Me Apart To See You Hurt – the most emotional song about listening to a friend’s pain through texts while being too far away to protect her. God why wasn’t I there…

This is the song that will break you. Written from pure guilt and love.
If you’ve ever felt powerless while someone you care about is hurting, this is for you.

00:15It tears me apart
00:20To see you hurt like this
00:25I'm so far away but I still hear the pain in your voice
00:35As I read the words of your text, every letter cuts deeper
00:41I'm sorry
00:45I'm so damn sorry
00:53I wasn't there to protect you
00:55I wasn't there to warn you
00:58I couldn't take you away from the pain and tell you
01:05Everything was gonna be okay
01:12God, why, why was I not there to protect her
01:20Why did the distance win when you needed me most
01:25I'm listening to your pain and it's killing me slowly
01:30I'm torn up inside with nowhere to go
01:36It tears me apart
01:41It tears me apart
01:48I replay every message, every broken breath you typed
01:51I can feel the weight you're carrying through the screen
01:53I trade every mile just to hold you right now
01:56But all I have are empty words in this endless night
01:59I wasn't there to protect you
02:06I wasn't there to warn you
02:09I couldn't take you away from the pain and tell you
02:16Everything was gonna be okay
02:23God, why, why, why was I not there to protect her
02:31Why did the distance win when you needed me most
02:36I'm listening to your pain and it's killing me slowly
02:40I'm torn up inside with nowhere to go
02:47It tears me apart
02:52It tears me apart
02:58If I could go back
03:00If I could just be there
03:03I'd stand between you and every dark thing
03:08I'd take the hits
03:10I'd take the hits
03:12I'd carry the weight
03:12I'd carry the weight
03:13But I'm stuck here
03:16Listening, breaking
03:19God, why, why was I not there to protect her?
03:25It tears me apart
03:32To see you hurt
03:37I'm so far away
03:42Yet I still hear the pain
03:48I'm sorry
03:50I'm sorry
03:52I'm so sorry
04:07I'm sorry
04:12I wasn't there
04:15I wasn't there
