When you get scared you come to me pleadingly
I must be there whenever you call
To betray your faith would be my greatest sin
Your love's so deep it makes me feel small
Now it's me, not your father, keeping the ghosts away
When we kiss it's a bond that I cannot hide from
I can't hurt the one I'm trusted to care for
It's not love any more - it's survival
When we're apart I cannot comfort you
But your heart is safe with me every night
When temptation's hand pulls me away from you
I must resist or forfeit my life
[chorus]
I must be there whenever you call
To betray your faith would be my greatest sin
Your love's so deep it makes me feel small
Now it's me, not your father, keeping the ghosts away
When we kiss it's a bond that I cannot hide from
I can't hurt the one I'm trusted to care for
It's not love any more - it's survival
When we're apart I cannot comfort you
But your heart is safe with me every night
When temptation's hand pulls me away from you
I must resist or forfeit my life
[chorus]
