In the shadows, I stay on guard
Love tucked away, I play it hard
But inside, I’m broken, I confess
My family’s my strength, my true success
[Verse 1]
Walking the line with a fierce rear view
Smile for the world, but I hold the truth
Behind the tough façade, there's a man who fears
Losing her, the love that appears so clear
[Pre-Chorus]
Eyes so cold, heart so warm
Guarding all I own, keeping calm
But in my dreams, I see her face
A quiet love I can't replace
[Chorus]
I’m the boss, but she's my queen
Fighting my fears, keeping my scene
Scary exterior, love underneath
In her arms, I find relief
[Bridge]
Kids’ laughter, my secret song
Family's my weakness all along
In the dark, I break and bend
A scarred protector, love’s true friend
[Outro]
No fear can break what’s real inside
With her love, I’ll always abide
Strong on the outside, tender at heart
From her, I’ll never part
