And I'm hurting And I'm collapsing in on myself And I just don't want to hurt you I want to shield you From a world you're accustomed to I want to protect you From things that you've already seen Because maybe you've been around the world a thousand times And maybe you've already been cut into pieces But I haven't And maybe Maybe you're the one protecting me Clasping my hands with yours when I get nervous Holding me close and hugging me till I want to breathe again So please, let me stand in front of you I'll take the brunt of the blow And I'll know you'll be there to catch me

I'm hurting
And I'm hurting And I'm collapsing in on myself And I just don't want to hurt you I want to shield you From a world you're accustomed to I want to protect you From things that you've already seen Because maybe you've been around the world a thousand times And maybe you've already been cut into pieces But I haven't And maybe Maybe you're the one protecting me Clasping my hands with yours when I get nervous Holding me close and hugging me till I want to breathe again So please, let me stand in front of you I'll take the brunt of the blow And I'll know you'll be there to catch me
It's a little bit of love and mostly coming home to you.
