Fight or run away; safer if you stay I’m protecting you; I promise it’s true I won’t let you leave; they’re all filled with greed All they really need is your soul…
Fight or run away; safer if you stay I’m protecting you; I promise it’s true I won’t let you leave; they’re all filled with greed I know what’s best for you, my child…
I can’t look, I must avert my gaze… Fight or run away; safer if you stay I’m protecting you; I promise it’s true I won’t let you leave; they’re all filled with greed I’m trapped in my protective haze
I can’t let you go; No one has to know It is never clear; why you are left here
I can’t bring myself to hurt you… Innocent and merciful young child I can’t see how or why it was that you were exiled Every time you look into my eyes… For your troubles I apologize All they really need’s your soul I know what is best for you
I did not expect; you to leave me yet I thought you might stay; for another day My eyes start to glaze; every time we lock gazes
I know that it’s wrong; but follow along It may be selfish; but it’s for the best Tears forming quickly; I can’t let another one die
Bandage on your face; a stick in your hand That look of confusion in your eyes What are you trying to prove this way? My eyes start to glaze; every time we lock gazes
Determination; it rests in your heart Know it’s waiting to tear me apart But it seems you continue sparing me
I can’t handle another death I accept your merciful regards Though I don’t deserve such niceties coming from you I’m sorry for putting you through this I hope you’ll survive on your own Hug you goodbye and let you go…
