When you close your eyes,
I will be there for you.
Then I will close mine,
Knowing you'll be there too.

The night will play tricks,
Make real all of your fears.
When in darkness...
Even your shadow disappears.

So believe me when I tell you,
I will keep you safe under my arm.
No matter how dark it gets,
You will experience no harm.

We will be there for each other,
Fighting darkness side by side.
The night may be frightening,
But no longer will we hide.

'Cause when you close your eyes,
I will be there for you.
And when I close mine,
I know you'll be there too.

&quot;I say what I want to say and do what I want to do. There&#039;s no in between. People will either love you for it or hate you for it. &quot;
