You don’t have to hide away, girl

I’ll protect you for this cold, cruel world

And kiss your lips and your fingertips

And imbue you with my love

I swear your story’s not over, it’s just start

If you let me I’ll cut my lips on your broken heart

And heal the wounds your past lover’s tore and ripped

But I swear that I won’t leave you bleeding

I know I’m only seventeen, but my eyes have seen many years of man

I’ve learnt through fault, and comprehend the means, and I give a damn

I’m not afraid to cry, nor am I to much of a man, I’ll never run away from you

And even though we maybe years apart, I swear my love will see us through

I just want to touch your heart with love so palpable, it’s tangible

I swear I’ll never lose the key, and one day you’ll wear my wedding ring

I might not always be home to bring the bacon, but I promise to bring ham

And you know these words, the truth I speak, that I’m the man I say I am

I know I’m only seventeen, but I have so much love to give

I’ll lay my love down on you softly, I can try to be a man

You don’t have to run away, I’ll protect you with my heart

And even though you’ve seen this road, I swear it’s a brand new start

I know I’m only seventeen, but …I love you so damn much!
