When the monsters in the nightmares
Dance around your bed at night
I was ready waitin' right there
I would turn on all the lights
When the constant conversations
And the comments made you cry
I'll take all the heat, spare you the fire

If I could protect you
Till my last breathe, you know that I would
I'll never let you
Believe the words, no, I never could
Wherever you want to
You'll always have a hidin' place
I'll be your shelter
Whenever you can't hold the rain

Maybe I get superstitious
But I worry all the time
I collected and projected
All the fears that haunt my mind
But the real world, yeah, it's knockin'
And I know you wanna try
So I'll be there cheerin' from the side

If I could protect you
Till my last breathe, you know that I would
I'll never let you
Believe the words, no, I never could
Wherever you want to
You'll always have a hidin' place
I'll be your shelter
Whenever you can't hold the rain

Didn't know it
I've been scared to let you go
Seein' a side of
A side of me I didn't know
Didn't know it
I've been scared to lose control
If you ever wonder if you could, how'd I let you know

If I could protect you
Till my last breathe, you know that I would
I'll never let you
Believe the words, no, I never could
Wherever you want to
You'll always have a hidin' place
I'll be your shelter
Whenever you can't hold the rain
