They'll shine a light in your eyes
They'll set you up with their lies, sweet lies
Shane, if you leave me, they'll hurt you believe me
And something inside you will die-

I know the reason you bleed
I understand what you need, and you need me
Babe, I can help you, think of nights that I held you
And only I can make you sleep

Shane, Shane, no one will hide you
Like the one that cries your name-
Shane nobody wants you
Like the one that haunts your dreams

I know the voices you hear
I know the secrets you fear
Dreams that will wake you, faces that shake you
Remember that I've always been near

Forget the love that I gave you
Forget the child that I saved
Only I know your heartbeat, only I know your backstreets
And only I can take you away
