I don't want to
get hurt, not anymore, not again.
I want to be
Gritted teeth, bloody knuckles, bruised knees and fire in my eyes.
But meet me
And I will be
Soft smiles, helping hands, lending you my jacket, sparkles in my eyes.
Because, oh, how good does it feel to help other, to be a beacon of hope, to make someone smile.
But does it weigh up to the risk of getting hurt?
I really wouldn't know
-
If you do hurt me,
Really, really hurt me,
Strike me down
I will make sure
To shut the door
And never, ever,
Let you in again
[I don't want to lose someone either]
