lyrics

If I could shield her from the truth,
I'd sacrifice everything to save her youth,
But the fallen world we live in...

I can't save her sense of hope,
But oh God, I just can't let her go,
If I count her as lost to the tides,
Will she find her way back home?

(Chorus)
If I could lay my head to rest,
If I could put You to the test,
Is there an answer for the fear,
Or will silence greet our ears?
If I could find the will to breathe,
Do I belong here on my knees?
If my anxieties could be tamed,
If there were power in a name...

I am the glass from the mirror,
I've never seen things clearer,
If I could stop her from being me,
I think I could finally sleep.

Now that we're caught red handed,
Now that we've faced abandonment,
I'm not sure I see things like before,
I just wish I could keep her from my storms.
