broken shield

Another evening, a muttered goodbye Slam the door behind you, go away You found another home, a new brother, "You're safe now", is what i should say I won't hold you back, i promise It's still hard to see you grow up While i'm going down, drowning, storms are keeping me shut Didn't want you to live on eggshells I've always protected you from them Build you a world out of stories, i was the moon and you were the sun My body a shield to protect from harm, i remain silent but my scars tell a story, became the martyr so you're not the victim I kept you safe, but he makes you happy
