If I could
I'd spend forever in your arms
Because when you hold me
I feel like myself

The dull knife
Of harmless words
Things said in passing
That aren't meant to hurt
But carve scars into my heart anyway
They can't reach my ears
Or tear apart my soul
Because in your arms
I'm protected

You guard my mind
From the unwanted thoughts
The ones that threaten
To turn me into the monster
That I fear the most

But there's nothing to fear
Because nothing can hurt me
Not as long
As your arms are around me
