Isn't My Fight

This is about a situation in which one friend shelters and protects her other friend, who gets bullied. The first friend learned that she isn't doing her any good.

Isn't My Fight

Verse:
The fighter in me wants to run to you
When you're on your knees, seeing nothing but blue
But this is your battle, you gotta learn to survive
When you've fallen off the saddle in the middle of the night

Pre-Chorus:
You know I'd take a bullet for you
But this is one thing I can't always do
You don't know how much I wish I could be
The one to set you free

Chorus:
But try as I might, this isn't my fight
There's nothing I can do
The barriers are up, ran out of luck
Guess I was a fool
For thinking that I could save a life
Maybe just not today
Can't lift you off the floor, can't lead you to the door
But that doesn't mean I won't stay
And try as I might, this isn't my fight

Verse:
It's killing me inside to know that you're dying
If I said I didn't care, I'd be lying
Your second guardian angel better run to you fast
Because as long as your in pain, I don't think I can last

Pre-Chorus:
Oh, baby try just this once
Please try to find the sun
Let it guide you, though I wish I could be
The one to set you free

Chorus:
But try as I might, this isn't my fight
There's nothing I can do
The barriers are up, ran out of luck
Guess I was a fool
For thinking that I could save a life
Maybe just not today
Can't lift you off the floor, can't lead you to the door
But that doesn't mean I won't stay
And try as I might, this isn't my fight

Bridge:
That one dreaded day will come when I'm far away
You'll call me on the telephone, and with a tear I'll say

Chorus:
Try as I might, this isn't my fight
There's nothing I can do
The barriers are up, ran out of luck
Guess I was a fool
For thinking that I could save a life
Maybe just not today
Can't lift you off the floor, can't lead you to the door
But that doesn't mean I won't stay
And try as I might, this isn't my fight

Outro:
Oh this isn't my fight
Isn't my fight, isn't my fight, no

This is original and different from the other things on this site, so kudos for that first of all. And also it's just sad that no one has reviewed this yet, but I will happily be the first.
I liked how this was from the viewpoint of the person trying to protect the bullied person. I thought it was a good way to highlight how they do have to learn to stick up for themselves even though they are in a bad situation.
