Escudo de Papel

I have a paper shield
That breaks whenever you're not around
It scares me and holds me back in front of others
And turns me into a predator bird
Soaring high
Avoiding the attack

I'm not aware
That without you, nothing is enough

It's not because you're gone
My safety plan
It's more about not being your first choice
You have their attention
The scissors and the stones
An eclipse to all my reverence
What can a
Simple piece of paper do

I'm not aware
Without you, nothing is enough

The warrior behind the shield
Isn't especially strong
The one you heard so much about
I get that you doubt his truth
But no one beats a brave heart (no one)
He's the first on the front line to save you

From silences
From fires
From winters
From endless nights

I'm aware
With you
I'm still dependent

I still remember my metal shield
There was a day I could kill for anyone
Maybe it melted because of the greatest
Stylish, strong, everyone follows his lead
Or maybe it was just me
