All I Wanted Was A Hero

All I wanted was a savior
Who saw the signs of pain 
The darkness deep inside my eyes
The hate flowing through my veins 
I forced a smile everyday
Made sure to hide the truth
I wanted to protect you
When you’re the one who stole my youth

I would hang child abusers. Never understood why we jail them to let them loose again.
