too late

i was so young
and you seemed so strong
i thought you'd keep me safe
and spare me from what's wrong

but one night there was evil
a darkness filled my room
his shadow fell over my bed
he stole all my innocence
and left me cold and bare

i thought you would protect me
keep me from this fate
God, i thought that you would save me
before it was too late

did you suddenly disappear,
at the sight of my first tear
did you have to turn away
when i cried into the night?
when he overpowered me
did you run away?
why did you go away?

what did i do to deserve this
was i not as treasured as they?
they tell me i'm you're beloved
why is my life this way?

i thought you would protect me

keep me from this fate

God, i thought that you would save me

before it got too late

did you suddenly disappear,

at the sight of my first tear

did you have to turn away

when i cried into the night?

when he overpowered me

did you run away?

why did you go away?

maybe someday you'll find me

broken, used and bruised

and maybe if you find me

you'll fill me and make me new

please never disappear

just stay and dry my tears

please don't turn away

when i cry into the night

don't let him overpower me,

please don't run away.

God, i just want you to stay

to stay and keep me safe.
