I Make Her Safe

Did you see that look in her eyes

When she looked at him

Did you see the way she moves

When he touches her

God I hate how he touches her

How could I be so invisible

When I'm right here

Forced to watch their subtle smiles

Watch him pretend for a while

Did you see that look on her face

When she found him out

And found that girl at his place

She just ran away

I would never do that

I could never make you hurt that way

Let the bruise heal

I'll help you on your way

I am right here

Stay with me

I'll keep you safe

Did you see the look in her eyes

When she looks at me

Her deep fear

Has gone away

I make her safe

You know girl

You mean more to me

Than anything

Its just you and me

All I Wanted

For a long time

I was in the deepest love

And this love

Once had me possessed

With security and sense

That "us" no one could touch

Funny

Life didn't work out

My head is ringing with bells

All I wanted was a life

A bride to make my wife

In this shade

That once was you and me

I don't know how

You broke me down

Back to "just a boy"

You were always the one with all the luck

You came around

You're breaking me down

All I wanted was a life with you

My bride to make my wife

I'd always thought

You'd come along

Sometimes I wish

For a mistake

The longer that you'd wait

The more selfish you would get

I just want you

To call me 'a good dad'

And once again I'm shown

All these simple things

Are far too complicated

For my life

I'm just left now

With my freedom

And a selfish shell of life
