Who can count on help out of danger's way
When we all turn a blind eye?
How can I watch you go
With no one watching over?
Why do I fear for you more than my own seif
When it comes down to both our lives?
Because I love you so, because I love you so
Some people have no one

And some kinds of damage can't be undone

Carry this for your own protection
With a tight throat and a white face
Take this coward's courage, that nothing can stop
Take this coward's courage, nothing can stop

Always the unexpected that you can't see
That will come at you from behind
When you are not afraid, going along your way
It's a common thing to retrace your steps
When it's too late to change your mind
I can't believe it's safe
Gambling on someone's hate

Carry this for your own protection
With a tight throat and a white face
Take this coward's courage, that nothing can stop
Take this coward's courage, nothing can stop

No harm to you must come
And no one can be two places at once
So carry this
