I wish I could hold us both together
For as long as it takes
Whatever the weather
Through every endeavour
As your foundations shake
My arms ache
Like joints in our bridge
And heavy though they may be
It makes me happy to see
That you're still here with me
My feet firmly implanted
I am your shock absorber
Won't let you fly away
And disappear
Get crushed to the ground
Or lose yourself
As tornado winds swirl around
Let me repay the favour
Of a life you saved
I remember those rebellious days
Hell bent on self destruction
And there you were
Carefully constructing
Putting me back in place
Anchoring me down
As everything became a mess
I don't think you ever understood
The importance
Of what you did for me
You saved me from
Deliberate mistakes
I wanted to make
A revenge that would
Only bring my own end
So I want to be there
Forever and always
To pay back the repair
You did
As I despaired
Against all odds
Somehow I turned out right
From a generation of wrongs
You don't know this
Or maybe you do
Maybe you don't believe it
But it was you
