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 done 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
In a black backstreet with the back of your hand
Now we're over understanding
How a guy like you gets bored
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
