I can't live my life without you by my side
Day by day as time goes by
I see a bright future in your eyes
And it saddens me how the pain has got the best of you
So i'll pray that one day you'll be whole again
I hope one day you'll be whole again
I will defend you til' the very end
I will do my best to treat you well
You don't have to do this alone
The burden invested in you
Is the burden invested in me
I will carry it til' we grow old
I will carry it til' we grow strong
The burden invested in you
Is the burden invested in me
I will defend you til' the very end
I won't let them break you down
You lust the love that you never had
And I pray to God that you will find
The one who'll show you what true love is
The one who'll defend you til' the day they die
Please don't cry as I let you go
This wont be our final goodbye
Because one day we will meet again
And when that day comes, I wont let you go
I hope one day you'll be whole again
I will defend you til' the very end
I will do my best to treat you well
You don't have to do this alone
The burden invested in you
Is the burden invested in me
I will carry it til' we grow old
I will carry it til' we grow strong
The burden invested in you
Is the burden invested in me
I will defend you til' the very end
I won't let them break you down
You took the blade to numb the pain
You took the drugs to feel okay
But even so, you're perfect to me
You say you're a mess and deserve no one
But I know that is not the truth
You'll be okay
Now you're gone, and I think of you
You took a piece of me with you back home
Now I've fallen, and I cant let go
I miss you dearly, and it starts to show
That my love for you is bulletproof
And even though you're miles away
I will do my best to wait for the day
The day I hold you in my arms again
I hope one day you'll be whole again
I will defend you til' the very end
I will do my best to treat you well
You don't have to do this alone
The burden invested in you
Is the burden invested in me
I will carry it til' we grow old
I will carry it til' we grow strong
The burden invested in you
Is the burden invested in me
I will defend you til' the very end
I won't let them break you down
