I bite my lip and pray
Every time the dawn comes I run to you
Every time the dawn comes I run to you
You try to hide behind a smile that you're covered in wounds
You try to hide behind a smile that you're covered in wounds
But I notice, because I'm not a child
But I notice, because I'm not a child
I'll protect you even if I have to make an enemy of the entire world
I'll protect you even if I have to make an enemy of the entire world
This strength comes from the light you've given me
This strength comes from the light you've given me
I don't want to just wait for a miracle
I don't want to just wait for a miracle
I want to start a revolution that changes who the two of us are
I want to start a revolution that changes who the two of us are
And this is the night before it starts
And this is the night before it starts
