The paths of life are tangled and winding
Sometimes our feet bog down in a swamp of grief.
You can’t expect to deal with the problems
With no regrets, just benefits of relief
It’s okay to break down at times
You laugh and you cry
It’s the way that things are
I can kiss away all your doubts
Let the world fall apart
And be yourself before me
There’s no need to fight it
You are here with me now
You don’t have to pretend all the while
Or wear all your pride when I’m around
I won’t tell a soul you too get hurt
You laugh and you cry
I know you think strength’s your superpower
But Superman found a weakness in kryptonite
I’ll save you in your darkest hour
This time around I’ll shield you from dynamite
It’s okay to break down at times
You laugh and you cry
It’s the way that things are
I can kiss away all your doubts
Let the world fall apart
And be yourself before me
There’s no need to fight it
You are here with me now
You don’t need to force a shy smile
Or muffle a cry when I’m around
I won’t tell a soul you too get scared
Just for tonight (just for tonight)
I will protect you.
