I close the door
I cant reach you
Im sorry they hurt you.
If you could see
I live for you
I protected you
And Im sorry.
If I could take it all back I would
I would take every suitcase you had
And burn them away.
Every ounce of pain.
SO many hurt us
and walked away.
It wasnt to our measure of worth son
It was their own.
I see you
your earphones are on.
If I could I would rip out my heart and give you my own.
So you would know you are not alone.
If you can please forgive me.
I should have protected us better.
should have never traded beauty for a storm.
Im praying for us while you sleep,
God will get us through the rain.
Just know how much I love you.
