Verse 1:
From the moment I saw you, my world redefined,
A promise to myself, etched deep in my mind.
To guard your smile, to hold you close,
In your light, my dark shadows lost.
Chorus:
There’s a beast within, caged by my fears,
Haunted by the echoes of my younger years.
But for you, I fight to keep it at bay,
I’d never let it out, never lead you astray.
Verse 2:
Your laughter, a melody that calms the wild,
In your eyes, I see the innocence of a child.
My past, a tale of anger and cold hands,
A father’s rage, in shifting sands.
Chorus:
There’s a beast within, caged by my fears,
Haunted by the echoes of my younger years.
But for you, I fight to keep it at bay,
I’d never let it out, never lead you astray.
Bridge:
The day we met, a vow was silently made,
Underneath the stars, beneath the shade.
To protect, to cherish, to always see
The beauty you bring, the best of me.
Verse 3:
But once I faltered, the beast slipped through,
The tears I cried, a pain so cruel and true.
It killed me inside, to see you hurt,
To know it was me, who brought you to the dirt.
Chorus:
There’s a beast within, caged by my fears,
Haunted by the echoes of my younger years.
But for you, I fight to keep it at bay,
I’d never let it out, never lead you astray.
Outro:
Every day, a battle, every night, a plea,
To be the man you deserve, the man you need.
In your love, I find a strength so divine,
In your heart, I pledge to confine the beast inside.
