Just the way i am

In the shadows i lay not one to shield
A tender heart , like a daisy in a field.
Yet with theswe broken hands i took my stand 
to guard from harm , you , the fairest of all my land 

But with each punch i dealt , i only caused you pain 
Every step i took , these fists with blood i stain
Each desperate move i made , my bloodlusts dance
i swear i never meant to hurt you under any circumstance 

These bloodied hands could never learn to love
no one can change my ways , not even the gods above
In an attempt to embrace your heart and keep it safe 
I became the sculptor of its eventual chafe 

Hell if i could go back and rewrite this wretched past
To kiss your wounds and heal them at last 
On my knees i plead forgiveness for your heart 
In seeking to protect i only tore it further apart
