She holds me tight,
keeps me warm at night,
protects me from the world,
fights away the dreams that haunt me at nights,
tough I tell her they make my days
Sister tell me stories of foreign lands,
of the life I do not know,
tales of brave young girls who once got away,
tales of men who kept them feeling safe
She's under my skin,
I feel her deep within,
she's the girl that loves me so,
and others will never know
When she caught me restless,
she held my hands tighter,
told me I shouldn't even try,
I'm the one for her,
like she is for me,
only weeps if I try to leave
It's better to stay safe than sorry,
I guess I'll stay in her arms,
follow the way she leads and we'll be just fine,
myself and the ghost of I
She's under my skin,
I feel her deep within,
she's the girl that loves me the most,
and others will never know
nobody will never know,
nobody will never know
