Who can count on help out of danger's way
When we all turn a blind eye?
How can I watch you go
With no one watching over?

Why do I fear for you more than my own self
When it comes down to both our lives?
Because I love you so
Because I love you so

Some people have no one
And some kinds of damage can't be undone, oh
Carry this for your own protection

Carry this for your own protection
With a tight throat and a white face
Take this coward's courage, that nothing can stop
Take this coward's courage, nothing can stop

Always the unexpected that you can't see
That will come at you from behind
When you are not afraid
Going along your way

It's a common thing to retrace your steps
When it's too late to change your mind
I can't believe it's safe
Gambling on someone's hate, oh baby

Carry this for your own protection
With a tight throat and a white face
Take this coward's courage, that nothing can stop
Take this coward's courage, nothing can stop, oh I

No harm to you must come
And no one can be two places at once
So carry this

Take this coward's courage, that nothing can stop
Take this coward's courage, nothing can stop
Take this coward's courage, that nothing, nothing can stop

Carry this for your own protection
Carry this
Carry this for your own protection
Please carry, please

Carry this for your own protection
Oh
Carry this for your own protection
