Your loss, our gain

It just came out this way. I found that, only in losing do we truly gain.

I was there when it happened, I was there when you fell
I was there to pick you up, I was there
I never asked what happened, I never asked you to tell
I never asked about anything, I never asked

You saw me when it happened, you saw me watch the fall
You saw me help you up, you saw me
You told me what happened, you told me it all
You told me everything, you told me

Now that I know your story, now that I know you
Now that I know what went down, now that I know
I want to keep you from falling, I want to keep you true
I want to keep you from the hurt, I want to keep you
