Survival

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]
