Protect me from what I want
hold steadfast to my good side
save me from the insanity of depression
keep me from my darkest desires that I hide

Protect me from what I want
help me do what’s right
prevent me from hurting this body I’m in
save me from the fires of hell

Protect me from what I want
take my hand and tell me it’s ok
hold me close when I cry
banish my nightmares, tell them to go away

Protect me from what I want:
be careful what you wish for, they say.
I guess i should listen,
because what I wish for
may end up to be,
an irreversible mistake
