You ask for me to stay Like you did that night You'd never walk away, Yet you fear I might. Words overflow with trust And yet, I can't reply. What can I say when You have found on me, you can't rely.
I do not deserve you, Can't protect you Cannot earn your smile Love you're quick to give But I keep asking, Why forgive? Why believe? Every night I relive Nightmares They haunt me And I cannot find relief But then I find you near Holding me All is clear Failures they banish, With you I have no fear.
What's beyond this crystal heart Where does paranoia start? All these doubts they lay in wait Waiting to tear me apart You seem so strong, I feel so frail I try so hard to no avail I'm supposed to be your savior now Save a goddess? Don't know how So tell me, How can you look upon me, love and trust me every day so unconditionally? When I am just a mortal, albeit loyal, but always so far removed from everything you'd hoped I'd be? How? Am I supposed to juxtapose the one you love with the one that I see How? Am I supposed to keep you safe when all I've got is me.
I do not deserve you, Can't protect you Cannot earn your smile Love you're quick to give But I keep asking, Why forgive? Why believe? Every night I relive Nightmares They haunt me And I cannot find relief But then I find you near Holding me All is clear Failures they banish, With you I have no fear.
