When you get scared you come to me pleadingly
I must be there whenever you call
To betray your faith would be my greatest sin
Your love's so deep it makes me feel small
[Chorus]
Now it's me, not your father, keeping the ghosts away
When we kiss it's a bond that I cannot hide from
I can't hurt the one I'm trusted to care for
It's not love any more - it's survival
When we're apart I cannot comfort you
But your heart is safe with me every night
When temptation's hand pulls me away from you
I must resist or forfeit my life
[Chorus]
