The Protector
I thought I was doing better
I was relying on hope to get by
But when this longing lasts forever
All I can do is try
Try to continue believing in love
Try to not be seized by jealousy
Try to be happy for the one I think of
And you’re the one for me
The other night I dreamt about you
I dreamt you were sorry you pushed me away
I knew I couldn’t live without you
So I allowed you to stay
You confessed the love you had for me
But I had given up on you
I didn’t want to hear or speak or see
But at that point I knew
Wading through the quicksand
Letting go of your hand
Open your eyes in darkness
And try to understand
Knowing no direction
I reach for your affection
Hope is not a promise
But hope is my protection
You were in my dreams again last night
This time with another man
You gave him the affection I couldn’t hold tight
But it was in your plan
His body, his face kept shifting
Every instant it was somebody new
You kept turning back at me to see my demons never lifting
Knowing I cry for you
Wading through the quicksand
Letting go of my hand
Open your eyes in darkness
But you can’t understand
Knowing no direction
You reach for my affection
Love is all I promise
My love is your protection
Wading through the quicksand
Reaching out with my hand
I open my eyes in darkness
And now I understand
That I thought I was doing better
I was relying on hope to get by
But when this longing lasts forever
All I can do is try
Try to continue believing in love
Try to not be seized by jealousy
Try to be happy for the one I think of
And you’re the one for me
You’re the one for me
