lyrics

Safe

V1
They said that what don't kill you
makes you stronger than before
But these days that don't seem to be so true anymore
The threat’s out in the open
while we hide behind our doors
Who knows what comes next for us, what troubles lie in store

Chorus
How do I keep you safe?
How do I keep you close?
How do I keep you safe?
The ones I love the most.
How do I keep you safe?
Safe, How do I keep you safe?

I miss the closeness and the touch
of family and friends
I wonder when our lives will be normal once again
We spend too many waking hours
trying to defend
ourselves from what we cannot see, it's hard to comprehend

Chorus

BR
Everything's temporary
So out of the ordinary
living like this is scary
and tomorrow brings more of the same

V3
Everybody's looking for
someone they can blame
instead of trying to find the truth, it really is a shame
The lies and false assurances are
really quite insane
they make it seem like this disaster's nothing but a game

Chorus
