Lyric

If I could protect you

I’d offer up these hands without a doubt

That final kiss we shared—

It tasted sweet like crimson on my mouth

Unrequited aching love

Everyone must feel it once before

Loving you is burning me

Makes me want to scream your name forevermore

You appear inside my dreams

I love you till it tears me at the seams

Dangerous illusions own my mind—

Someone stop my heart before it bleeds

When you smile at someone else

Something stabbed inside my chest and broke apart

If I could protect you

I’d give away my hands and still not lose my heart

Losing you would hurt much more than any sacrifice—

I never want to see your tears again, not in this life

I never wanted to know

The truth that killed the light inside my chest

Desperation swirling deep

Drowning me in darkness I can’t rest

Just imagining you

Holding someone else destroys my breath

What more do you want from me?

Can you hear the silence screaming out in death?

You’re wrapped in someone’s arms

And every thought is tearing me apart

If you slip away from me

Tell me how to live without my heart

If you were mine to hold

I’d raise both hands and swear you’d never fall

Rather than watch you disappear

I’d shatter everything before I lose it all

The only one who guards you now is standing here—

I won’t surrender you to anyone, my dear

I’m losing reason, losing ground—

Tell me why you never smile for me right now?

If I could protect you

I’d give away these hands without a fight

Compared to losing you

Nothing in this world could ever feel as right

If I can stay by you

I’d sacrifice it all without regret tonight

If you belonged to me

I’d lift my hands and promise destiny

Rather than watch you fade away

I’d break the world to keep you here with me

No one else will hold you— you’re the only one I see

If love demands the price

I’d trade the light that once belonged to me

The final kiss we shared tasted red—

Now seal it with a crimson memory
