All I ever wanted was to protect you
Ever since we were little
All I ever wanted was to keep you safe from the demons that surrounded us
But you saved me instead

You kept me safe for all those years
Now you're gone and I’m in tears
I miss you so much it’s not even fair
I love you so much
You were the one who was there

All I ever wanted was to chase the dark away
Wipe your eyes dry, please don’t cry
But I couldn’t save you like you saved me
I failed miserably
I couldn’t even take care of me

How can I go on without admitting
You have my heart completely
I’ll make you proud one day I swear
Just so you know I care

All I ever wanted was for us to stand together
Through rain and shine no matter the weather
Holding you close cause we were all we had
I so sorry I made you grow up fast

Thank you so much for keeping me safe
One day when I find my place
I’ll see who’s good in this godawful race
But just so you know you’re the one I love most
No one else will ever come close

All I ever wanted was to keep you safe
Cause you were all I ever had
I’m glad we made it safe and sound
I promise to never let you down.
