Verse 1:
In the shadows, I stand tall,
A warrior forged, I won’t fall,
With steel resolve, my heart is stone,
I guard her life, yet feel alone.
Chorus:
But why’s my mind drifting toward her grace?
A noble light, in a cold, dark place,
Every whispered laugh, every playful glance,
Breaking my walls, inviting romance.
Verse 2:
On the battlefield, I am fierce and strong,
Yet with her, I feel I don’t belong,
A noblewoman’s heart is not for me,
With scars and grit, I’m only meant to be free.
Chorus:
But why's my mind drifting toward her grace?
A noble light, in a cold, dark place,
Every whispered laugh, every playful glance,
Breaking my walls, inviting romance.
Bridge:
I fight the urge to dream awake,
Imagining love and the risks it makes,
But duty calls, and I pull away,
Yet in those moments, my heart wants to stay.
Chorus:
But why's my mind drifting toward her grace?
A noble light, in a cold, dark place,
Every whispered laugh, every playful glance,
Breaking my walls, inviting romance.
Outro:
So here I stand, a guardian true,
But what do I do when I long for you?
A stoic heart, yet my world is unfurled,
In this silent battle, our love’s been swirled.
