|
I'll never be |
|
A knight in armor |
|
With a sword in hand, |
|
Or a Kamikaze fighter; |
|
Don't count on me |
|
To storm the barricades |
|
And take a stand, |
|
Or hold my ground; |
|
You'll never see |
|
Any scars or wounds- |
|
I don't walk on coals, |
|
I won't walk on water: |
|
I am no prince, |
|
I am no saint, |
|
I am not anyone's wildest dream, |
|
But I can stand behind |
|
And be someone to fall back on. |
|
Some comedy - |
|
You're bruised and beaten down |
|
But I'm the one |
|
Who's looking for a favor. |
|
Still, honestly, |
|
You don't believe me |
|
But the things I have |
|
Are the things you need. |
|
You look at me |
|
Like I don't make sense, |
|
Like a waste of time, |
|
Like it serves no purpose - |
|
I am no prince, |
|
I am no saint, |
|
And if that's what you believe you need, |
|
You're wrong - you don't need much, |
|
You need someone to fall back on... |
|
And I'll be that: |
|
I'll take your side. |
|
If I'm the only one, |
|
I'm used to that. |
|
I've been alone, |
|
I'd rather be |
|
The half of us, |
|
The least of you, |
|
The best of me. |
|
And I will be |
|
Your prince, |
|
I'll be your saint, |
|
I will go crashing through fences |
|
In your name. I will, I swear - |
|
I'll be someone to fall back on! |
|
I'll be the one who waits, |
|
And for as long as you'll let me, |
|
I will be the one you need. |
|
I'll be someone to fall back on: |
|
Your prince, |
|
Your saint, |
|
The one you believe you need |
|
I'll be - I'll be |
|
Someone to fall back on. |
