Lyric

Where is that smile going, the one I love so dear?

It’s never aimed at me, even when I’m standing near

It’s directed at that guy, the one I can't endure

He’s messing with your heart, but his motives aren't pure

He doesn't even care, he’s just playing a game

While I’m over here, just whispering your name

I try to race him, try to win your eyes

But I’m losing every battle, no matter how I try

I’m not the fastest, I’m not the best

But I’ve got a fire burning deep within my chest

I won’t give up, no, I’m staying in the fight

I’ll give you all my feelings with everything I might

Stronger than anyone, deeper than the sea

I’ll show you the love that’s waiting here in me

I see you in my dreams, and I wake up in tears

Because this love is unstoppable, through all of my fears

Hey you, don’t show off, don’t act so proud

Stop playing with her heart in front of the crowd

Is it fun for you to watch her chase a lie?

While I’m the one who hates to see her cry

I try to race him, try to win your eyes

But I’m losing every battle, no matter how I try

I’m not the fastest, I’m not the best

But I’ve got a fire burning deep within my chest

I’m gonna protect you, I’ll prove it to you now

I’ll bring back your smile, I’ll find a way somehow

That look you have, the one I love to see

I’ll take it back from him and bring it home to me

Even if my hands can’t hold you tight

Even if your love slips away into the night

I’ll be the one to wrap you in a gentle light

I try to race him, try to win your eyes

But I’m losing every battle, no matter how I try

I’ll keep on loving you, more than anyone

Until the shadows fade and we find the sun

Your smile... I’ll bring it back

More than him... I love you more

Still protecting you
