Read her name to me, just one young girl
And her tragedy following her
Fists and threats, he forgets they were
The world and he is misery
And when she sings her beauty stings
His eyes are like a curse and hers
Are permanently blue

We can keep her safe from you
We can keep her safe from you

Just one drink makes you think
How great your friends can be
Wakes up a world where he can't be
Here he comes something dumb
With loaded fingers and thumbs
She clings to my arms

And I can't give her the strength
To live in the second before
The people become a corridor for two

We can keep her safe from you
We can keep her safe from you

And in a black back street with the back of your hand
Now we're over understanding
How a guy like you gets born
There's only one of you

We can keep her safe from you
We can keep her safe from you
We can keep her safe from you
We can keep her safe from you
We can keep her safe from you

We can keep her safe
We can keep her safe
We can keep her safe
We can keep her safe from you
We can keep her safe from you

We can keep her safe
We can keep her safe
We can keep her safe
We can keep her safe

From you
