Late at night, it haunts again, the scene I know so well The moment when I should’ve fought, should’ve raised some hell I see your face, can’t reach you now, the memory slips away I should’ve stood there, standing tall, but I watched you fade away The clock is ticking, time’s run out, I’m stuck in yesterday But every night I try again to make the shadows fade Oh, every night I save you, but it’s never when it counts I’m running faster, harder, but the past won’t let me out I fight the flames a thousand ways, but the fire still remains Every night I save you, but it’s never quite the same In my dreams, I twist the knife, make all the pieces fit I break the chains, I change the game, but can’t get over it I shout your name, I stop the pain, but daylight pulls me back Another day, chasing ghosts, lost on the same old track Oh, I replay it in my mind, a thousand times or more I should’ve been your hero then, not after the war Yeah, every night I save you, but it’s never when it counts I’m running faster, harder, but the past won’t let me out I fight the flames a thousand ways, but the fire still remains Every night I save you, but it’s never quite the same I see you standing just out of reach, fading with the light Screaming louder, reaching higher, trying to win this fight But every time I’m just too late, the story ends the same Another road, a different turn, but I still lose the game Oh, every night I save you, but it’s never when it counts I’m running faster, harder, but the past won’t let me out I fight the flames a thousand ways, but the fire still remains Every night I save you, but it’s never quite the same Every night I save you, in the darkness of my mind But no matter how I try, I can’t rewind the time Every night I save you, and it’s never when it counts Never when it counts, never when it counts
