Fast Forward

She's to young to know 
That living life involves way to much pain
She smiles in your face 
Never been one who complains

While asleep she is still running 
From everything that might be nothing at all
Today she might not know yet
No longer alone, I'm here to catch herwhen she falls

Like a broken peace of glass
That's been forgotten on the floor
She's been pieced back together
Lost in life moving forward but still unsure

But he's wants to be a rock for her
Someone she can count on and depend
Only payment he asks
Is that she accept he is her friend

He's knows the path
Already made it through life's maze
He wants to show she burns bright
That she can set the world a blaze

He wants her to catch her breath
Inhale all that's good 
That she should take her time
Believing that what she feels is completely understood

No more running
For now there's nothing left to fear
He will show her all she needs to do 
Simply believe in that person she sees clearly in the mirror
