You have this innocence in your eyes
You stand tall and never back down
But when you look at me
Or when you fall asleep
I see you
This boy who had to grow up too fast
Who had to restart
Who had to stand up and work when no one else would
You put up this wall
So no one could get in
No one could get close
But you let me in and put the wall back up around us
I can see it all
While the others are blind
I see when you are in pain
I see when you are stressed out
When someone crossed a line
Or when you are just running on fumes
To everyone else they just see the wall
When you look at your dog
I see the years of pain he got you through
I see that he is the reason you are standing here today
You pour your heart out to him and to me
You dont give a shit about anyone else
We are your family
You are determined to keep us safe
And I know you wont fail
You wont let yourself
