I tried so hard to keep you safe,
I held it all in until I couldn't anymore...
Lord knows I tried...

I thought I could do it,
I swore up and down,
I smiled outside while inside I broke down...

The truth hit me in the face,
Though, I tried so hard to deny...
It doesn't matter how hard I try,
I'll never be able to keep you safe.
I am the problem...

Just keep your distance,
You'll be alright,
Just know that I love you,
And that it's for you that I fight.

You mean more than the world,
You're my shining star,
Just keep your distance,
You'll still shine bright.
Just know that I love you,
And it's for you that I fight.
