To whatever end. In this moment of reflection this doubt will cast a shadow. Yet your glow, it will always shine right through
For all that we lacked. For all I could never give you. For all we didn't know. I did all that I could
To whatever end. I'd carry the weight of permanence. To whatever end. Always and forever is my solemn vow
For all that we lacked. For all I could never give you
And if the day comes that I'm faced with my shortcomings. I'd take it all on me. All that hurt and anxiety. I'd take it all on me. To keep you safe, forever free. I'd take it all on me
Will you know what I'd pay? Will you see what I'd go through for you? In these uncertain times you were all I ever wanted. And it's a fathers prize to lay down his whole life. In these uncertain times you were all I ever wanted. And with these tears in my eyes. I'd lay down my life for you
But perfection was never part of this plan. Of all the mistakes I've made, you were never one. And let stand as a testament through time. In your greatest hurt just know I'm with you
Keep you safe, forever free. I'd take it all on me.
