When I see you again
I'll never let you go
When I see you again
Tell me what you know
I've been waiting for months
To hear your voice once more
God only knows what you left us for

Oh, I got caught in the memories of us
Every simple heart would trust
And our words are drenched in dust
Oh, and my walls are covered in your name
Every breath is taken in pain
And I'll never hear you speak again, speak again

I should've been your protection oh, protection oh
I should've seen your direction oh, direction oh
You didn't have to disappear I know how much it hurts
With everything we could've been and everything you were
I should've been your protection oh, protection oh

I keep thinking of you
Without you I am bare
You're the reason I'm still here
And now you're gone
I can't move on
Things just don't seem clear

(You didn't have to disappear I know how much it hurts)
Why you left us here
(With everything we could've been and everything you were)

I should've been your protection oh, protection oh
I should've seen your direction oh, direction oh
You didn't have to disappear I know how much it hurts
With everything we could've been and everything you were
I should've been your protection oh, protection oh

You are more than the photos on the wall
Hold you in our hearts so that you'll never ever fall
We are the wind that pushes you home
Take a part of us so that you'll never be alone

You are more than the photos on the wall
Hold you in our hearts so that you'll never ever fall
We are the wind that pushes you home
Take a part of us so that you'll never be alone

(I should've been your protection, protection)
You are more than the photos on the wall
Hold you in our hearts so that you'll never ever fall
(And I should've seen your direction, direction)
We are the wind that pushes you home
Take a part of us so that you'll never be alone
Never be alone, never be alone

I should've been your protection oh, protection oh
I should've seen your direction oh, direction oh
You didn't have to disappear I know how much it hurts
With everything we could've been and everything you were
I should've been your protection oh, protection oh
No I should've been your protection oh, protection oh
And I should've been your protection
