You just don't understand,

I wish I could hold your hand.

I'm too afraid,

about the rage,

I hide inside.

I don't want to hurt you,

because we're just too close.

I know I want to love you,

but that's what hurts the most.

Why do you continue

to torture me with your

looks, and grace, and charm.

I want to protect you

but I don't want to do you harm

I only want to fight

but you're getting in my way

you make me want to smile

and talk to you all day

I want to protect you

from nobody but myself

I really want to love you

but I know it can't be helped.
