I open my eyes
from yet another hellish nightmare...

&& I want someone to love
but my heart is back in lock down...

So much is happening,
my world is in a spin...

Her scars tell a story,
the bruises show a past...

Each new dream is a mirror of my soul
a glimpse of what my mind desires...

Can't you see she's been breaking up inside...
can't you see that the smile that she always had...

You see all the scribbles, all the scratchouts
that scatter throught this page...

And the last song of the night comes on,
and she hears the ever familiar words...

You see her walking down the street,
tears glistening in her eyes...

Stand up straight,
get good grades...

When I say I love you
I will always mean it...

All my life, all I've ever known
is that protection of an angel...
