Lyrics

There's a reflection that's so hard to see A reflection in water of what you could be A wave crashes over Tides pull you under If you've ever wondered why you barely breathe All of the ways I wish I could've shown you All of the things that I want you to know right now All the ways I wish I could protect you From all the things that you'll learn on your own somehow As you grow older and you've lived through a war Before you know it the eyes of a storm Will rain upon you Not like you ever knew No like you've never seen Like never before All of the ways I wish I could've shown you All of the things that I want you to know right now All the ways I wish I could protect you From all of the things that you'll learn on your own somehow These ugly places I don't want you to see These smiling faces I don't want you to meet Your heart's extended out They'll try and tear it out You'll never be without The love that's between you and me All of the ways I wish I could've shown you All of the things that I want you to know right now All the ways I wish I could protect you From all of the things that you'll learn on your own somehow Learn on your own Learn on your own somehow
