I wake up drenched in sweat.
A nightmare haunts my mind.
I just saw every one of my fears,
Flash right before my eyes.

I watched as I wasn't there to fight for and protect you.
I listened to your screams as I couldn't comfort you.
I wept as I saw myself turning my back on you.
And my heart broke as you moved on without me.

I woke up, with great terror in my heart.
I vowed that these nightmares would never be.
I swore that nothing would ever tear us apart.
And that you'd never have anything to fear from me.
