Monsters

I watch you sleep at night, and my heart feels the weight The world is so damn so cruel, I brought you here anyway Your tiny hands, they hold my soul But I can’t shield you, from every fall. I’m terrified, I’m paralyzed, This fear inside, keeps me awake at night. I’d trade my breath, I’d give my life, To only know, That you'll turn out alright. I wished for the best, but that was all in my mind, And this world’s too cruel for a heart so kind, You’re the love I’d die for, a joy I'd never trade, But I hate that I brought you... where monsters are made. Your laughter breaks through, all my darkest days. But I read the headlines, full of hate and rage. I hold your hand, It’s such a fragile thing, The thought of losing you, it drives me insane. I’m terrified, I’m on the edge, Each day is a terror, Hiding under your bed. I’d fight it all, I’d burn it down, To know you're ok, When I'm not around. But the world’s got teeth, and they're sharper than ever Cutting through hope I swore would last forever, You’re the love I’d die for, a joy I'd never trade, But I hate that I brought you... where monsters are made. I can’t promise you it’ll all be okay. Bad things are gonna happen, no matter how hard I pray. Each day’s a battle knowing what the future might impose, Though I love you so much, it’s the fear I feel the most. I wished for the best, but that was all in my mind, And this world’s too cruel for a heart so kind, You’re the love I’d die for, a joy I'd never trade, But I hate that I brought you... where monsters are made. You’re my reasons why, the light I cling to... But it feels so selfish, bringing this on you.
