There's a reflection so hard to see
Reflection in water, what you can be
Wave crashes over, tides pull you under
So you can breathe
As you get older, live through a war
Before you know it, the eyes of a storm
Will rain upon you like you never knew
Never Before
All of the ways I wish I could have shown you
All of the things I want you to know by now
All of the ways I wish I could protect you
From all the things that you learned on your own somehow
These ugly places I don't want you to see
These smiling faces I don't want you to meet
Their hands extended out holding a knife behind their backs
All of the ways I wish I could have shown you
All of the things that I want you know by now
All the ways I wish I could protect you
From all the things that you learned on your own somehow
All the ways I wish I could have shown you
