Tight grip on my shirt
Shake like it's the middle of November
I promise you, it's safe to cry

Cover your ears
I'm sorry it's getting too loud
All I could do is hold you

You cry so painfully, it makes me
the more angrier
I can't always shield you from the monster

It kills me to know you've scraped your palms on the playground

It tears me up to know you shudder at the very thought you'd make her furious
in every breath you take

But my darling, you're only six yet you already know what heartache is

In each stare, I promise
I'll look after you in the dark
and when you sleep

You are safe in my arms forevermore

I'll laugh with you in every movie we watch

and I promise you that one day, the only loud noise you'll ever hear is
your favourite song echoing
all over our home

and on that day, you'll realize

The monster does not have any power over us
