Soulguard (R&B, Soul)

You kick off your shoes by the doorway Drop your keys in that chipped glass bowl Say "Today tried to tear me open" I say "Come here Let me hold your soul" Every crack in your faith I trace it Every shake in your voice I hear You ask "Who stays when the storm gets heavy?" I whisper low Right here I’m your soulguard Babe Nothing’s gonna break your heart when I’m around Not a scratch Not a shadow’s gonna touch you now I’ll stand guard I’ll stand strong I’ll stand with you I’m your soulguard Keeping safe your heart inside my heart We’re in this together Even knowing it won’t last forever I’m yours as long as you need me And after that too Even if you don’t see me I’m your soulguard You say love’s like sand through your fingers You’ve watched it fall so many times before So you sleep with the lights half burning And one hand reaching for the door Let it shake Let it ache I’ll brace it Every fear that you hide I’ll know When you break You can break in my arms Love I’ll be the place you go I’m your soulguard Babe Nothing’s gonna break your heart when I’m around Not a crack Not a cruel word’s gonna tear you down I’ll stand guard I’ll stand strong I’ll stand with you I’m your soulguard Keeping safe your heart inside my heart We’re in this together Even knowing it won’t last forever I’m yours as long as you need me And after that too Even if you don’t see me I’m your soulguard If the years pull us apart (mm) If the colors start to fade You might forget my face Babe But not the way you felt safe ’Cause I’ll be there in the calm of your breathing In the quiet when you’re drifting to sleep In the way you learn to trust your own healing That’s me Still keeping the watch you can’t see (yeah) I’m your soulguard Babe Nothing’s gonna break your heart when I’m around Not a stone Not a storm’s gonna knock you down I’ll stand guard I’ll stand strong I’ll stand with you I’m your soulguard Keeping safe your heart inside my heart We’re in this together Even knowing it won’t last forever I’m yours as long as you need me And after that too Even if you don’t see me I’m your soulguard Babe I’m your soulguard
