To serve and protect…
That’s my job.
That’s who I am, and what I do.
It’s what I’ve always done.
And when she comes back to town,
She’s all I want,
All I need.
But I know better.
I refuse to give into my desire.
I’ll never hurt her,
Never leave her.
And my job alone threatens it all,
Threatens everything.
I have to stay away,
Otherwise, I’ll break her,
Ruin her,
And destroy us.
