read her name to me, just one young girl and her tragedy following her
fists and threats, he forgets they were the world, and he is misery
and when she sings her beauty stings his eyes are like a curse and hers
are permanently blue
we can keep her safe from you
we can keep her safe from you
just one drink makes you think how great your friends can be
wakes up a world where he can't be
here he comes
something dumb with loaded fingers and thumbs
she clings to my arms
and i can't give her the strength to live in the second before the people become
a corridor for two
we can keep her safe from you
we can keep her safe from you
it's true
and in a black back street with the back of your hand
now we're over understanding
how a guy like you gets born
there's only one of you
we can keep her safe from you
we can keep her safe from you
we can keep her safe from you
we can keep her safe from you
we can keep her safe from you
we can keep her safe
we can keep her safe
we can keep her safe
we can keep her safe from you
we can keep her safe from you
we can keep her safe
we can keep her safe
we can keep her safe
we can keep her safe...
from you
