Keep It Away

wasn't I not there for you
did I ever let you down
did I once ever hurt your heart
or ever turn away

didn't I not bear it for you
didn't I not wear that crown
did I not help you quite the fears
and keep the clouds at bay

but in your heart it's still the same
some things just never change

cause I know that pain becomes you
and I know the scars for which you stand
and I know the black you bring so just
keep it away, keep it away
cause I know the pain you cause you
and I know the dark from which you stand
and I know the hell you bring so just
keep it away, keep it away from me

did I ever take from you
did I ever pull away
did I not help you clean the wounds
and help it all to heal

someday maybe you'll know
bitter winds don't always blow

you know I've tried to see
but there's just no way
the darkness that you bring
keep it away
