WE PROTECTED EACH OTHER

Lyrics

[INTRO — SINGING] We held on through the fire We held on through the pain We stood together And we did it all again [VERSE 1] You were shot twice that darkest night I wiped your blood and held you tight I was scared of what the morning would bring We’d already lost almost everything But I couldn’t lose you And you couldn’t leave We held onto each other With everything we had to give [PRE-CHORUS] We took the pain We took the scars We kept on fighting Through the dark [CHORUS] No more drugs! No more lies! I’ve got no more tears to cry This is your chance To make it right Leave the past behind tonight We protected each other When everything broke We protected each other When the whole world turned cold Those so-called friends Can stay in the past We’re still standing And we’re holding on at last [VERSE 2] We lost everything But we didn’t break We never gave each other away We kept our mouths shut We stood side by side We protected each other We never ran, we never hid They talked too much They told their side They gave away what they tried to hide We never had to say a word They exposed themselves With every word they heard [PRE-CHORUS] We took the pain We took the scars We kept on fighting Through the dark [CHORUS] No more drugs! No more lies! I’ve got no more tears to cry This is your chance To make it right Leave the past behind tonight We protected each other When everything broke We protected each other When the whole world turned cold Those so-called friends Can stay in the past We’re still standing And we’re holding on at last [BRIDGE — SUNG] We know the truth We know the pain We know the things We’ll never say But we stood together We made it through I protected you You protected me too [FINAL CHORUS] No more drugs! No more lies! I’ve got no more tears to cry This is your chance To make it right Leave the past behind tonight We protected each other When everything broke We protected each other When the whole world turned cold Those so-called friends Can stay in the past We’re still standing We’re still standing We’re still standing at last
