| 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
|
| 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 |
