I watch him betray her
I watch him not see
That she is so hurt
And she wants to be free
Free from the pain
Burning inside
Free from the tears
All the ones she has cried
I watch from a distance
I watch her dissolve
My once strong protector
Needs my to evolve
I comfort her sweetly
I do whatever I can
To save my protector
But I need a plan
I can’t point it out
But he doesn’t see
That she’s not really fine
She’s in misery
He doesn’t see behind
This mask that she wears
Some times I wonder
If I’m the only one who cares
Alone I must save her
No one else tries
No one else holds her
Every night when she cries
He has no idea at all
That he causes her pain
That he is the reason
Her tears fall like rain
But she only cares about him
As if he were the hero
And even though I saved her
In the end I am but a zero
