When I promised you,

That I would be strong,

It was not a lie,

It was just that I was wrong

There's no way I'd ever guess,

I'd be so defenseless

*

I have walked against the wind,

I find shelter in my friends,

There's some comfort in the wine,

If I can sleep it buys me time,

I can duck out of the rain,

But there's no hiding from the truth,

I'm still naked to the pain,

Of losing you

I can't build a door,

That you can't drift through,

When I close my eyes,

I still dream of you

Don't you know when you love someone,

There's no protection

* Repeat

I can duck out of the rain,

But there's no hiding from the truth,

But I'm still naked to the pain of losing you.
