When You Know You Care
Is there a hole there?
When in their eyes you can't stare.
Does it hurt when you be fair?
Even when you can’t be there.
Number one thing is protect who you love,
Almost like an angel from above.
Would you risk your life like a stab in the pants?
Just to give them a running chance.
Would you kill those who hurt them raw?
Even with the risk of breaking the law.
Would you hug just to keep them closer to you?
Kind of like Christmas & getting something new.
This pain is amazing to bare,
Now you know when you care.
