You don't understand
You say it's not my fight
You say that I'm not going through this
On this cold and lonely night
...
From the first time I saw you
With your dark, soulful eyes
A need rose inside me
That I could not disguise
...
Do you think that when we say,
God, why did you make me this way?
He looks at all us with all our doubt
And says, "What are you talking about? "
...
Trembling, shaking fingers, as the engines started up
Little circles on her back, in a soothing rub
A lurch in her heart as they inched bit by bit
Eyes open wide, unwilling to submit.
...
Guardian Angel
You don't understand
You say it's not my fight
You say that I'm not going through this
On this cold and lonely night
But what you do not know
Is that loving you's my cross
When you cry, I feel it too
When you scream that you are lost
It tears my skin and breaks my heart
To see you in distress
And to know that I am helpless
To do all but confess
That loving you's a curse
I would never trade away
When you're wrapped in your despair
I won't let you slip astray
I will fight the monsters off
Until they cower and say
"At her side is a guardian angel,
That will never walk away."
So take a rest, my darling
From the monsters in your head
Your sister is here to keep you safe
And I will hurt in your stead.
