(Verse 1) The arrows fly, a poisoned rain Targeting you, causing you pain But I've built a shield, strong and tall Enough to protect us both from the fall (Chorus) I've got enough hate for the both of us, my dear You don't need to carry this burden, my love, hold it near Let me take the darkness, the shadows, the sting So your heart holds only sunshine, and joy the birds sing (Verse 2) The whispers creep, like venomous vines Twisting the truth, clouding your mind But I'll silence the voices, their hateful decree And leave only laughter and peace for you and for me (Chorus) I've got enough hate for the both of us, my dear You don't need to carry this burden, my love, hold it near Let me take the darkness, the shadows, the sting So your heart holds only sunshine, and joy the birds sing (Bridge) It's a heavy load, this venom I bear But to see you happy, beyond all compare Is worth every struggle, every tear I may cry Just to keep you safe, beneath a clear sky (Chorus) I've got enough hate for the both of us, my dear You don't need to carry this burden, my love, hold it near Let me take the darkness, the shadows, the sting So your heart holds only sunshine, and joy the birds sing (Outro) So let the hate fall on me, let it break and it bend All I ask in return, my love, is a love that will never end Save some for me, at the close of the day A little bit of sunshine, to light up my way.
